Pallavi Gunalan (left), Fizaa Dosani (center), and Zahra Ali (right) produce the Facial Recognition Comedy brand, including the LA and NY shows, the touring show, and the Facial Recognition Comedy Podcast.
Fizaa Dosani was born and raised in Florida, but eventually escaped. As a comedian, she gives audiences access to her eccentricities and a uniquely hilarious, outside-of-the-box perspective that is her own. Fizaa is the creator of Facial Recognition Comedy, a nationally touring stand-up show, weekly podcast, and expanding comedy brand. The show was named by the New York Times as one of the top 5 shows to see at the 2018 NY Comedy Festival. Her TV credits include FX, Netflix, ABC, and more. She has only been involved in one high-speed car chase with the police– it was in Florida. Check out her website, Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.
A biomedical engineer by day, stand-up comedian by night, Pallavi Gunalan is smart enough to know she’s dumb. She dives deep into subjects including her family, relationships (or lack thereof), and her tolerance for stupidity, which is as low as her standards for the people she dates. She performed vocal skits on Ruby Ibarra‘s hit debut album, Circa91, and has opened for Todd Barry, Preacher Lawson, and many other amazing comedians. She also creates and stars in the web series Dirty Science and has performed at Desi Comedy Festival, SF Sketchfest, Portland Queer Comedy Festival, Pittsburgh Comedy Festival, 208 Comedy Festival, the All Jane Comedy Festival, New York Comedy Fest, and on the Kill Tony Podcast, as well as at clubs all over the US and India (Pune, Mumbai, and Chennai). In Spring, 2018 she received the Upright Citizens Brigade Diversity Scholarship and is currently on a UCB Mess Hall team. She also produces Oversharing Comedy. In her spare time, Pallavi is tired. Luckily, she wouldn’t have it any other way. Check out her website, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Patreon, and Facebook.
Zahra is a bicoastal comedian, writer, and actress who performs stand-up all over the country. She’s also the coolest chick you’ll ever meet. Her arsenal of jokes tackle everything from tacos to terrorism, often leaving the crowd more enlightened. She writes and acts with the sketch comedy group No Fly List at the Comedy Central Stage in Hollywood. Zahra also co-hosts the 2 Girls, 1 Guy podcast at the World Famous Comedy Store and the Facial Recognition Comedy podcast. She is a producer of two popular LA-based shows, Facial Recognition Comedy and Keep It Professional Comedy. Check out her Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.
