After making her stand-up debut in D.C., Aparna Nancherla quickly became a comedy darling in Los Angeles and New York, writing for FX’s Totally Biased With W. Kamau Bell and NBC’s Late Night With Seth Meyers. She also became a welcome fixture in New York’s competitive stand-up scene, thanks to her smart and self-aware one-liners. When she opened up about her own anxiety and depression, more fans flocked. As a writer and actor, she has worked on HBO’s Crashing, Comedy Central’s Corporate, and Netflix’s BoJack Horseman. Now she’s eager to explore new terrain in her next stand-up special, but worries what fans and Hollywood will think. In her conversation with Catie Lazarus, Nancherla talks about the solitary nature of stand-up performing and writing, the toll it takes to regularly joke about anxiety, and how to say no to too much work.
