Pakistan’s newest funny man has truly come a long way, working his way through theatre, television and finally landing on the cinema screen. He started off as a VJ

and is now appearing as the main man in Wajahat Rauf’s upcoming film Lahore Se Aagey. Yasir is most popularly known for his comedy, as he has scripted
several films as well as award shows; we have laughed at his oft politically incorrect humour as he’s mocked and mimicked some of the biggest stars of the industry.
