The show will feature the following comics:

Aparna Nancherla will be headlining the show. She pedals in both writing and performance (street names: scribble-scrabble and jibber-jabber) and currently writes for and sometimes appears on Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell on the FX network. Additional credits include LA Weekly’s 2012 Comics to Watch, Serial Optimist’s Comics You Must Know in 2013, the WTF Podcast with Marc Maron, Last Comic Standing, the Bridgetown Comedy Festival, SF Sketchfest, the Great American Comedy Festival, NPR, Reader’s Digest, The Huffington Post, The Washington Post Magazine, TimeOut NY and Slate V.
The mission of DIS/ORIENT/ED Comedy is to highlight the voices of Asian American female comedians, emphasizing the diversity of comedic talent as wide-ranging as a Japanese former import car model, a high-energy South Asian transgender boi and an Egyptian American female grouch.
AAJA Seattle will also be giving away a pair of tickets, so stay tuned for details on how you can win!
