Abby Govindan is a 27 year old stand-up comedian and writer based in New York City.

About the Show:

A stand up show and solo act in one, "How to Embarrass Your Immigrant Parents" is a biting and irreverent storytelling experience that explores a pertinent universal theme: wanting to understand your parents but struggling to see eye-to-eye. Throughout the course of an hour, Abby takes the viewer on an intimate, hilarious, soul-bearing journey about her struggles with mental health, fitting in, and finding common ground with the ones you love even after they’ve hurt you. Most importantly, it is a love letter to Abby’s Indian heritage and her wonderful parents, without whom none of this would be possible. No gimmicky Indian accents, guaranteed.

Extended Bio:

Abby got her start in comedy at the age of 20, making her comedic debut at Caroline’s on Broadway in New York City in December of 2017. Within a year of pursuing comedy, she had a meteoric rise after she went viral on the internet for her sharp wit and comedic ingenuity. Since starting comedy, Abby has performed at venues all over the world and, in 2019, even toured as a headliner for several colleges across the nation while being a college student herself.

Since blowing up on Twitter and Instagram, she’s opened for coveted comedians such as Russell Peters, Daniel Sloss, and Hasan Minhaj. She has also traveled the world and regularly sells out shows across the country as a headliner. Now, as she works on cementing a name for herself outside of internet virality, Abby is sharing her critically acclaimed, heartwarming one hour solo show across the country.
