"Joy is an act of rebellion. So come laugh with me.” – Kiran Deol.

Kiran Deol is a fearless, Harvard-educated comedian, actor, writer, and filmmaker redefining what it means to be a South Asian woman in comedy. She brings a rare blend of intellect and irreverence, delivering blistering commentary on politics, identity, and modern absurdities.

Deol believes laughter is a radical technology, and her stand-up is a potent alchemy of hilarity and fire. Known for her high-voltage charisma, seen on NBC’s Sunnyside and earning her an Emmy nomination and Oscar Shortlist for documentary work, she promises an uproarious night.

Her critically acclaimed shows, headlining venues like the NY Comedy Festival and Kennedy Center, offer an evening where laughter becomes resistance. Expect truth-telling, boundary-pushing, and shared catharsis from one of the most exciting comedic talents. Don’t miss this rare performance. Catch her comedy special JOYSUCK streaming on Vimeo.

"Horizons," curated by Ruby Singh, gathers award-winning artists to address how we hold grief in fractured times, offering meaning, vision, sanctuary, and solidarity. Amidst global turmoil, the event reminds us of our shared humanity.

The luminous constellation of artists includes Vivek Shraya, Kimmortal, and virtuoso oud player Mohanad El Eek. The night also features exclusive collaborations: Brandon Wint with Feven Kidane, and Cecily Nicholson with Sejal Lal.

These artists forge a powerful soundscape—part concert, part gathering, part invocation—transcending genre through music, poetry, and stories. More than a performance, it's an invitation to imagine new ways of being together in the troubling present, guiding us toward collective reckoning. It’s a reminder that even in grief, we can meet at the horizon and imagine something new, together.
