Meg Indurti Laughs All The Way To The New Yorker

Tuckered Out with Ami Thakkar

So 2022 has been...déjà vu?

I decided to kick off 2022 talking to stand-up comedian and humor writer, Meg Indurti. Indurti writes for The New Yorker and Reductress and is a headline contributor for The Onion. In 2019, she was featured in the NBC Breakout Comedy Festival and in 2020, she was featured in the San Francisco Sketchfest.

She performs regularly at Laugh Factory, Zanies, Comedy Bar, and Comedians You Should Know. In 2019, she was a writer for a comedic short directed by Natasha Lyonne featuring John Mulaney, Maya Rudolph, Melinda Gates, and more.

We talk about the real reason her parents immigrated to the US, why most Indians need to go through steps to figure out their "Indianness", our prom and first dance stories, how Nicholas Cage got her a job interview, and how finally feeling confident led her to a book deal.
