Karthik Lavangu (@klavangucomic) is an Indian-born stand-up comedian currently based in New York City. Karthik's Mom describes him as "the funniest person I know who also happens to be my son," while his Dad can't wrap his head around why his son wants to talk about feelings and emotions and does comedy instead of putting his engineering and Masters degrees to use. As a tax paying "resident alien" living and working in NYC, and as a functioning germaphobe (started long before covid-19), Karthik has a lot of opinions and a unique perspective on everyday things people take for granted in the "first world."

Karthik's comedy draws inspiration from his life experiences and observations. It is clean, nuanced, and at times dark(ish).
