Part of Embracing Complexity

A self-described “social justice comedian,” Negin Farsad has been named one of the 10 Best Feminist Comedians by Paper magazine and one of the 50 Funniest Women by Huffington Post. A regular on NPR’s Wait Wait... Don’t Tell Me!, she is also the writer, director, and star of the romantic comedy 3^rd Street Blackout and the director and producer of Nerdcore Rising and The Muslims Are Coming! While promoting the latter, she sued New York’s MTA for the right to put up humorous posters about Muslims. She won. She’ll win you over, too.

Following the performance, Farsad will sign copies of her book, How to Make White People Laugh. Prairie Lights will be on hand with copies of the book for sale.
