I'll be guest-hosting in place of Peter Sagal on America's sweetheart comedy newsquiz show, Wait Wait Don't Tell Me. If you're in Chicago on March 9, come see the taping! If not, check out the broadcast at an NPR radio station near you. Or download the podcast.

The ultimate case for American exceptionalism is brought to you by none other than your favorite Iranian-American Muslim comedian who is also 5’4’’ tall. Negin Farsad cycles through her life as an Iranian-American Muslim, married to a Black man, with one of those typical Bliranian toddlers. It’s an evening of standup-comedy-meets-TED Talk-meets-ethnic-lady that through (occasionally dumb) jokes and (surprisingly elegant) PowerPoint, defines patriotism, deconstructs Dave Matthews fans, AND solves the curse of soggy sandwich bread.

Monotony! is the only show inspired by the mundane and finding humor in the trivial. Writers, comedians, and storytellers will take their passion for dull, the ultraspecific and the tedious and turn it into captivating and hilarious presentations. Topics will range from the science behind urinal cakes, the history of the rubber duck, to a comparative analysis of sailing knots. So come take a break from the titillation of modern life, and soak in the Monotony!

Hosted by Raj Sivaraman, a Jeopardy! runner-up, writer, comedian, and Ph.D. scientist. He has performed in several festivals all over the country and presented his research at as many international scientific conferences. He also once asked out Kate Middleton on a date, and she no-showed. But he's married now, so guess it worked out for everyone.

Part of COMEDIANS IN FILM, New York comedian, writer, director Negin Farsad introduces a special 35mm screening of COMEDIAN.

This 2002 documentary takes a look at the work of two stand-up comics, Jerry Seinfeld and a lesser-known newcomer, Orny Adams, detailing the effort and frustration behind putting together a successful act and career while living a life on the road. It proves that success doesn’t make the path as a comedian any less difficult to pave. In Comedian, both comics are in crisis, to some degree. Seinfeld wants to relaunch his standup career, and Adams wants regular gigs on the late-night TV circuit and eventually a sitcom.

I'll be at Barnes & Noble-Tribeca to talk #HowToMakeWhitePeopleLaugh, do some standup, and sign some books (and/or body parts). Above all, we shall have fun.
