Aparna Nancherla has an intimidating name, but don't be scared! She's a joke entrepreneur who pedals in both writing and performance (AKA scribble-scrabble and jibber-jabber). In fact, she currently writes for and sometimes appears on Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell, formerly on FX, now on FXX. Watch her recent appearance on CONAN below!

Her artistic journey took off in Washington D.C. (it's all about the Washingtons), but she now resides in the biggest Apple, east of Silicon Valley. Aparna's comedic goggles are dry and observational, and her act is sprinkled with absurdist wit and a whimsical take on the world.

Her credits include LA Weekly's "12 Comedy Acts to Watch", Serial Optimist's "10 Comics You Must Know", Splitsider's "10 Up-and-Coming Comedians on Each Coast", 2013 New Face at the Just for Laughs Montreal Comedy Festival, the WTF Podcast with Marc Maron, the Nerdist Podcast with Chris Hardwick, Last Comic Standing, SXSW, the Bridgetown Comedy Festival, SF Sketchfest, the Great American
