Facial Recognition Comedy is a stand-up comedy show composed of female-identifying performers of South Asian (India, Pakistan, & more) or Arab descent. This show was created to let everyone know that we are not the same person. Our goal is to dispel the Hollywood myth that there can only be one type of minority entertainer per project, as well as showcase the diversity within our demographic. Each stand-up comic has a unique style and takes that you will learn to tell apart if you haven’t already. FRC is produced by comics Fizaa Dosani (creator), Zahra Ali, and Pallavi Gunalan.
Doors open at 7pm, and the show starts promptly at 8pm.
