Description:

Comedy as a Second Language is an amazing stand up comedy showcase featuring immigrant and first-generation comedians

About this event

Comedy as a Second Language is back at Busboys and Poets Takoma!

Join us the 3rd Thursday of the month for live stand up comedy with hilarious immigrant and first generation comedians.

Dec 16th we have Yannick, Shelley Kim, Anna Tirat-Gefen and Simone

Comedy as a Second Language is a live, interactive comedy show that features immigrants and first generation comedians. Lots of fun with our comics as they share stories and jokes about their lives, families, multiple cultures and their relationship with their new home.

This show was created in partnership between Carol Zoccoli and Kim Levone, produced in parallel in Toronto and Washington DC, as well as on zoom as part of Immigrant Stories. See more about the show here.

Note: With all live performance, there is a chance for last minute adjustments to the line-up. We always strive to bring you the best performers for a great show. We appreciate you and look forward to making you laugh!
