Khan uploaded his first video to Facebook in 2014, and in June of that year first performed on stage, opening for Aamer Rahman at Birmingham Repertory Theatre. He performed under the stage name "Guzzy Bear." In June 2015, while performing as his character Mobeen, he made a video called "Pakisaurus," which was watched over 340,000 times on YouTube in six days. In July 2015, he gave up his job as a school teacher to pursue a career in comedy after his clips went viral. He has performed on the BBC2 stand-up show Live at the Apollo, in an episode aired on 31 December 2017.
