Stand-up Comedian, Storyteller, & Producer
Karthik Lavangu is an Indian-born, NYC based stand-up comedian, storyteller, producer and a functioning germaphobe (he was a natural at social distancing before it was trending). Karthik's Mom describes him as "the funniest person I know who also happens to be my son," while his Dad can't wrap his head around why his son has to spill family secrets on stage in the name of "feelings" and "emotions" in front of strangers instead of putting his engineering and Masters degrees to use and be more “successful” like his cousins and peers.
As a tax-paying resident alien living and working in NYC, he has a lot of opinions and a unique perspective on everyday things people take for granted in the first world. Karthik's clean, nuanced, layered and at times dark(ish) observational comedy is inspired from his life experiences in India and the US. He produces comedy shows in NYC, does corporate events and performs at comedy venues and festivals throughout the US.
