ALOK - HAIRY SITUATION

Hairy Situation - A Standup Comedy Show by ALOK

Over the past few years, transphobia has flared up like an allergic reaction which is why ALOK thought it would be an amazing time to hard launch their career in Hollywood. Now that's what we like to call impeccable comedic timing! Being trans and Indian is a textbook hairy situation but since textbooks are being banned all over the US we are no longer at liberty to say that. In their new standup show ALOK keeps finding themself in hairy situations: being mistaken as a mega-famous Brazilian DJ, botching TikTok makeup tutorials, and signing up for an appointment at the European Wax Center (aka Taylor Swift's Tortured Poets Department). Flippant and fabulous. Wicked sharp and delightfully silly. Join ALOK for an unmissable evening.

With support from: Cheshire Vineyard, DRAGMOTHER (DJ), Shiraz The Alien (DJ), Songo Ananda (DJ)
