Brava presents
Who’s Your Mami Comedy
THURSDAY, APRIL 20, 2023
7:30pm in Brava’s Cabaret
Whether you abstain or indulge, get high on laughs when the comedians of “Who’s Your Mami Comedy” celebrate San Francisco’s wackiest holiday, 420, on Thursday April 20th, 2023. It might be 420 but the show starts on time at 7:30 PM. After selling out our last two shows in a flash BRAVA presents more badass and far out comedians for your giggling pleasure: Sampson McCormick, Natasha Muse, Shanti Charan and Marga Gomez. “Who’s Your Mami Comedy" continues every third Thursday of the month. Full bar available. No smoking. Bring your own munchies.

SF Weekly awarded Shanti “Best Stand Up on the Way Up”, stating Charan’s writing, “is clever and confident beyond her years”. The daughter of immigrants, Shanti’s humor reflects her experience as an Indo-Fijian woman, growing up as a second generation American.

Natasha Muse is a stand-up comedian and humorous writer who moved to San Francisco last century and hasn’t been pushed out of the City (yet). She likes puns, wordplay, and portmanteaus, and enjoys weaving them into jokes and comical bits about being trans, being a mom, and being alone with her thoughts. Natasha has has worked with such comedy luminaries as Maria Bamford and Janeane Garofalo.

ABOUt who’s your mami comedy
Who’s Your Mami Comedy was created as a hilariously trenchant response to misogyny in the comedy industry. But in the upside down new normal Brava’s women-led, rotating line up of deeply funny, culturally diverse, subversive comedians will mix truths with hot takes, a little raunch, and a mega dose of ‘red hat’ unfriendly weaponized wit aiming where no punchline has gone before.
