Laughing Lassi, a Bangladeshi comedy venture in New York City, presents stand-up performances by Bangladeshi and South Asian comedians. Established in 2022, the venture has organized numerous shows to delight Bangladeshi, South Asian, and American comedy enthusiasts. The events are organized monthly, and tickets are sold online.
Laughing Lassi organizes stand-up comedy shows and after-parties to allow attendees to mingle and network with like-minded individuals. The locations of these after-parties are usually announced during the show. The show is presented in English and is intended for a diverse audience while maintaining its cultural roots, not just South Asians.
Laughing Lassi, born to address the lack of diversity in the city’s comedy scene, aims to provide a platform for South Asian comedians to thrive. Despite comedy clubs prioritizing diversity quotas over true inclusivity, the comedy offers a monthly showcase to give these talented artists the spotlight they deserve.
