During college, he worked as a dishwasher in a comedy club and eventually progressed to the spotlight where his stand-up was a huge success. He is a favorite in the Boston comedy clubs. Ahmed co-founded an online sketch comedy group called 'Uncle Mustache'. He also created a film called 'Abajee' with his sister in Pakistan. He was born into a half Irish Catholic, half Pakistani Muslim household. So the film was in part an exploration of part of Ahmed’s cultural heritage. Recently, Ahmed began starring in the television series Dream Corp LLC which is a workplace comedy.
