A meteorically rising comedic mainstay, Abby was recently named among Forbes’ 30 Under 30 (2026) and is one of the youngest touring comedians in the world, headlining sold out shows across the globe. Her solo show, How To Embarrass Your Immigrant Parents, presented by Hasan Minhaj and produced by Daniel Sloss, debuted off-Broadway in March of 2025 at the Soho Playhouse.

Abby is joined by the hilarious Niki Mohrdar, named as “an absolute delight on stage” by the Vancouver Guardian. Known for her relatable, conversational delivery, Niki has a knack for making audiences feel comfortable, like they’re hanging out with an old friend. Opening the night, Niki’s comedy will be sure to leave you in stitches and excited for the night ahead.
