Naveed, formerly an engineer by profession, had performed as a stand-up comic in the USA in the 2000s, and upon returning to Bangladesh in 2009 chose it as a career path. He founded the country's first comedy club, and also hosted a TV show. Currently, he hosts a morning radio show on ABC Radio, apart from his stand-up performances.
