“She’s achieved a seemingly insurmountable feat by somehow cracking a new shade of awkward, stoner-y, lovable aloofness. Just when we thought we’d seen every color in that rainbow and heard every change in that frequency, she’s gone and changed the game.”

Fareeha Khan is a comedian, writer, and performer known for her offbeat charm and sharp, stoner-tinged humor. She’s performed across NYC with her solo show I Actually Don’t Feel That Good, featured on Comedy Central’s Tight Five hosted by Ilana Glazer, and toured her stand up with Man Repeller. Her writing has appeared in Reductress and the book Every Body. You can see her in the movie Babes (2024) starring Ilana Glazer and Michelle Buteau. She’s also acted in sketches on MTV Decoded, Adult Swim, and Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Her short film Break Up, Baby was a 2021 NoBudge pick, praised by Vulture for her captivating performance. She’s acted in several independent short films that have screened at festivals across the country, including Woodstock Film Festival and Mammoth Lakes Film Festival. Fareeha has also worked behind the scenes as a writer’s assistant on Refinery29’s After After Party and was selected for the Riot x TBS Comedy Writers Lab. Her self-published zine about art and capitalism has been distributed around the country (and sometimes world), building community through comics and honest takes on life’s current conditions. Born in Karachi and raised in the American South, her outsider perspective shapes a comedic voice that’s both distinctive and deeply relatable. She is represented by United Talent Agency and Odenkirk Provissiero Entertainment.
