About this Event
Before her many television appearances (including Late Night with Stephen Colbert and Two Dope Queens), voicing Hollyhock on Bojack Horseman and Moon in The Great North, and being named one of “The 50 Funniest People Right Now” by Rolling Stone...Aparna Nancherla was a DC-area comic! The Just Kidding Comedy Collective is honored and delighted to welcome Aparna back to her original home town as the headliner of the Woke Mob Comedy Festival.
The show also features Brittany Carney, a national headliner who started her comedy career in DC, has now been featured on Comedy Central, and was named by Vulture Magazine as a "Comedian You Should and Will Know."
About the Woke Mob Comedy Festival
The woke mob is rising up! With an absolutely unhinged dedication to diversity, bodily autonomy, and democracy itself, we are undrainable swamp people who work hard every day to keep our home in the DMV culturally hostile to the fascists in power. And honestly? We deserve to have fun while we do it.
The Woke Mob Comedy Festival celebrates everything that makes this region the best, even as the rest of the country sends us its worst. We’re showcasing the DMV’s funniest comedians, especially highlighting BIPOC, women, LGBTQ+ and gender-queer performers, plus a few “prodigal” comics who got their start here before heading national. Check out the full festival schedule here.
It'll be hilarious, joyful, AND every show gives back! With our neighbors under attack, we're raising funds for local organizations that are helping some of our region's most vulnerable. A percentage of ticket sales from this show go to DC Abortion Fund and DC LGBTQ+ Center.
About the DC Abortion Fund
