Netflix Is A Joke Presents: Mermaid Comedy Hour ft. Valerie Tosi, Kari Assad, Laurie Douglas, Janan Araujo-Siam, Christie Bahna, Alexis Bradby, Sophie Delaney, Daniela Inés Calvo

  • Valerie Tosi

    Comedy

     Valerie Tosi is a Second City trained actor, writer, voiceover artist, and stand-up comedian. In 2019, she made her late-night debut on Conan and has appeared in a viral commercial for Lyft with Kevin Hart and Ice Cube, was featured on 'The Joel McHale Show' on Netflix, 'Based On A True Story' on Peacock, and was a guest star on 'Stan Against Evil' on IFC. You may recognize Valerie's voice from her work on scripted podcasts, animation projects, and several ad campaigns, including Google Home Mini. As a comic, she tours the US regularly and has headlined and featured at festivals such as Limestone, Laughing Skull, and West End. Between road dates, Valerie has produced and hosted The Mermaid Comedy Hour, a monthly female- and non-binary-focused comedy show at The Hollywood Improv, for over 10 years. She regularly features for Emmy Award-winning comedian Dana Gould and has previously featured for Paul Reiser, Heather McDonald, Gina Brillon, Orny Adams, Brent Terhune, and more. Her debut comedy album "Beach Trash" reached #1 on the iTunes charts and was featured in The Boston Globe. When she's not slinging jokes, you can find her at her pinball league (yes, that's a real thing!), pumping quarters into the Jurassic Park table.

  • Kari Assad

    Comedy

    Kari Assad is a Mexican-Lebanese comedian and writer based in Los Angeles. She is the co-host of the popular show Mermaid Comedy Hour at the Hollywood Improv. Her silly and relatable content has been featured on the popular comedy platform WhoHaha, and she's also been a featured performer at premium festivals like Limestone, 10,000 Laughs, and Flyover where Tig Notaro personally picked her to open. When she's not on stage, you can find her borderline making out with your dog.

  • Janan Araujo-Siam

    Stand-up

    Janan started comedy in Houston in 2018, where she spent a few years performing in clubs, founding and co-running the well-received JK Fridays Show series, and releasing a popular 4-season podcast, BYOBlanket, with her wife. She’s featured for acts such as Ronny Chieng, Nimesh Patel, Maria Bamford, Mo Amer, Rosebud Baker, and Kristin Key.
    She’s a Palestinian redneck comedian and yoga teacher from Texas. While she is an anomaly as a person, audiences relate to her story as that kid who just wants so badly to fit in and be cool. As a result, she consistently overdresses and has fashionable haircuts. Janan’s style of humor is silly, witty, and sarcastic.
