About Facial Recognition Comedy
Facial Recognition Comedy Podcast is a podcast from the creators of the popular stand-up and Clubhouse show of the same name. Facial Recognition Comedy was made to combat tokenism by highlighting diversity within the underrepresented demographic of female-identifying “Brown” comics of MENASA (Middle Eastern, North African, & South Asian) descent. Basically, this podcast and show prove that there can be more than one of us because we are NOT the same person. We were named by the New York Times as one of the top 5 shows to see at NY Comedy Festival, and have performed sold-out shows across the country.
