About Akanksha A.
Akanksha is an immigrant writer, comedian & content creator from Mumbai, India who is currently living, working & drinking matcha lattes in Los Angeles, CA.What could a production coordinator turned standup comedian turned preschool writer possibly have to offer? Versatility, humor and years of creative experience, that\'s what. In my professional career, I\'ve written everything from comedic nonfiction to full-length preschool episodes to branded promotional interstitials, including Disney XD\'s first foreign-language interstitial. But that\'s just my career.Outside the hours of 9-5, I am thoroughly immersed in the standup and storytelling world, where I write and perform jokes about my lived experiences as a young immigrant, produce live shows, host podcasts and create Bollywood-inspired web content. I\'ve written branded promos, tv episodes and socially conscious standup. Feel free to connect with me here on LinkedIn if you want to work together!
