Pallavi Gunalan, Live!

Pallavi Gunalan is a stand-up comedian, writer, and actor. She used to be an engineer, but not a good one. Her writing for Lovett or Leave It with Crooked Media and performances with Dropout.tv has established her as “having an actual career” by the college friends whose couches she sleeps on. Her parents, however, were only convinced once she opened for Jay Leno and Arsenio Hall. Pallavi tours everywhere and runs a monthly show called Facial Recognition Comedy with two of her South Asian doppelgangers/co-producers at The World Famous Comedy Store. Pallavi has other accolades but really doesn’t know what they all mean in the big scheme of things. In the end, she’d like to make a funny thing or two and pay her dogs’ rent.
