2023: Wharton Storytellers Club (Comedy Theme Night)
The Wharton Storytellers Club hosts dinners for smaller, more intimate gatherings where everyone brings a story to share about the theme of the night. There are also bi-weekly slams that the storytellers club hosts wherein speakers are nominated.
I performed at the Comedy Slam on how I use the framing of Birds and Bees books to talk to my parents about suggestive internet slang. More complete snippets of the show are on my art instagram.
2018 - 2019: Co-producing Comedy Lab at ImprovBoston
Pre-pandemic, ComedyLab at ImprovBoston was an experimental variety show hosted on Thursday and Sunday nights. Producing taught me how to host shows, keep the energy between the crowds and enable backstage/tech operations for a smooth show.
Though I haven’t pursued Zoom Comedy over the pandemic and ImprovBoston shut down in 2023, I’m grateful for my time in Boston to learn these skills and carry them forward.
2018 - 2019: (Con)tent Web Series
Written, directed and performed by various members of the Mister Bismuth cast, led by Jonathan Case, this web series was my debut at creating filmed content (pun intended). Two episodes of this series were screened at the Somerville Independent Film Festival.
Content follows the story of a woman as she navigates society after losing her job in the 2008 Recession. Throughout her journey, she encounters various characters of questionable morals and loyalty. I play as Dr. Nandita Leete.
2016 - 2019: Improv and Sketch Comedy at ImprovBoston
ImprovBoston was my second home in Boston. I started comedy as a hobby when one night, I decided to drop into a theater near work, and I found out that they had a free drop-in class. Since then, I’ve written and performed in a variety of sketch shows including FemRom Live (March, 2019) and Comedy America (July 2018).

My experience at ImprovBoston. led me to make friends as an adult, pursue a creative fulfilling hobby with other people, and brought me out of my shell as merely a software engineer.
