Comedy with an accent

Comedy with an Accent is a stand-up showcase that celebrates immigrant voices, global perspectives, and the hilarious stories that come from living between cultures. Featuring comedians from around the world performing in English with their authentic accents, this show highlights the humor, heart, and identity behind every punchline.

Created and headlined by award-nominated comedian Maria Rivadeneyra, the show has sold out multiple times and showcases diverse acts that prove accents aren’t a barrier—they’re the funnier way in.
