Akaash Singh (born 4 May 1984) is an American comedian, actor and podcaster. He is known for formerly hosting the Flagrant podcast with Andrew Schulz and for his comedy specials Bring Back Apu and Gaslit on YouTube. He was born in Dallas, Texas, into an Indian family from Uttar Pradesh, and started developing his stand-up skills at school talent shows. He attended Austin College from 2002 to 2006, leaving the pre-med track to pursue his comedy career full-time.

Singh began performing stand-up comedy by his freshman year in college, performing at his first open mic in Denton, Texas. In February 2022 he self-released his first comedy special, Bring Back Apu, on YouTube, which amassed a million views in one week. He was featured in five episodes of the improv comedy show Wild 'n Out (2014-2015), moving to a creative consultant role in 2017, and also appeared in a smaller role in HBO's The Leftovers (2014), was a cast member for the fifth season of MTV's Guy Code (2015), and appeared as Mookie in the Netflix series Brown Nation (2016).

Singh was a co-host of the Flagrant podcast with fellow comedian Andrew Schulz but left the podcast as of May 2026 due to personal reasons. Originally intended to be a sports podcast, by 2022 it focused on current events and pop culture, releasing two episodes a week plus an additional Patreon-exclusive episode, and it has two million subscribers on YouTube. He married his wife Jasleen in July 2021 in New Jersey and lives in New York City.
