Why did Akaash Singh leave Flagrant? Andrew Schulz confirms heartbreaking podcast exit after nine years

Akaash Singh is stepping away from the Flagrant podcast after spending nearly a decade building the show with Andrew Schulz. Schulz shared the news during the May 6, 2026, episode of the podcast and said the decision came after Singh chose to focus fully on his stand-up comedy career. The announcement surprised many longtime listeners because the two comedians helped grow the podcast together from its early Flagrant 2 days into one of the most popular comedy shows online.

Andrew Schulz explained that the decision was emotional for both of them. He said Akaash Singh had been going through a major period in his life and career this year, especially after selling out Radio City Music Hall and performing in packed venues across North America. Schulz said Singh felt it was the right moment to put all his energy into comedy touring and live performances.
