Summary:  Negin Farsad is an Iranian-American-Muslim female stand-up comedian who believes she can change the world, one joke at a time. She shares her personal experiences growing up as the "Other" in an American culture that has no time for nuance. Writing bluntly and hilariously about the elements of race we are often too politically correct to discuss, Farsad takes a long hard look at the iconography that still shapes our concepts of "Black," "white," and "Muslim" in America today and examines what it means when white culture defines the culture. What does it mean to have a hyphenated identity and how can we combat the racism, stereotyping, and exclusion that happens every day? Negin Farsad is an American comedian, actor, writer, and filmmaker of Iranian descent based in New York City. She has written for/appeared on Comedy Central, MTV, PBS, IFC, and Nickelodeon. She is director/producer of the feature films Nerdcore Rising starring Weird Al Yankovic and The Muslims Are Coming! starring Jon Stewart, David Cross, and Lewis Black. Her next film, 3rd Street Blackout, starring Janeane Garofalo and Ed Weeks, will be released in 2016. Holds:  0   Copy/Holding information No Item Information
