DSI Comedy Theater jumps into Spring with an appearance by Krish Mohan. This Washington D.C. based comic brings his Attempting to Approach Happiness tour to the Triangle. Mohan takes the stage Thursday, March 23 at 8:30 p.m. Tickets cost $10. He performs at DSI Comedy Theater, 462 West Franklin Street. Tickets and more information are available online at www.dsicomedy.com.

Krish Mohan explores the idea of happiness and perceptions of mental illness in today's society. In this hilarious evening, he removes the stigmas associated with immigration, drugs, gun control, racism and being accountable for the problems we've created -- all revolving around the subject of mental health. He has toured across the United States and has opened various nationally touring headliners including Lee Camp, Stewart Huff & Cameron Esposito. Audiences have called Krish's show "brilliant", "hilarious" and "refreshing" as he "skewers mainstream American ignorance: a nation of foreigners doesn't seem to know what to make of them." Will he find out how we can all approach happiness?!

Krish is a socially conscious Indian standup comedian and writer who regularly performs at small theaters, bars, Comedy Clubs, colleges and DIY venues across the country. He focuses on idea based stand-up tackling race, religion, immigration, relationships, political and social issues. With his quirky attitude, charming personality, and intelligent humor, Krish captivates and engages audiences of all backgrounds. Mohan has opened for nationally touring headliners and has had a highly rated & hit show at the IndyFringe & Capital Fringe. He has been featured on NPR and in the Arch City Comedy Festival. Krish is a regular contributor to the Indie Bohemians, a radio show which airs on iHeartRadio and affiliates all across the country. Krish is also the host, writer and creator of "Fork Full of Noodles", a weekly satire web series that focuses on socio-political issues. Krish also hosts his own podcast called "Taboo Table Talk" where talks to guests about socio-political issues that should be talked about at the dinner table.
