INDIO Comes to Joe's Pub, 10/24 & 27

An inaugural member of The Public Theater's Emerging Writers Group, Aladdin Ullah developed this solo show, INDIO, at The Public Theater, via its New Work Now! reading series, and at New York Theater Workshop, Cape Cod Theater Project, The Lark Play Development Center, and Shakespeare in Paradise in the Bahamas.

Pioneering the way for South Asians for the past two decades, Aladdin has been performing all over the world as a stand-up comedian. He was one the very first South Asians to appear as a stand-up comedian on national television (Comedy Central, BET, MTV, PBS) and was hailed as the "funniest South Asian in the nation." In response to the entrenched racism and discrimination in New York Comedy Clubs during the 90's, Aladdin created a show comprised of the hottest up and coming multi-ethnic comedians aptly titled "Colorblind." The first alternative comedy show to gain critical acclaim in New York, it was hailed by the New York Times as "hilariously original, and brave."
