Mohtasham: Comedian in New York

About Mohtasham

Mohtasham is a New York City–based artist whose work draws on documentary impulse and close observation. Trained through a mix of community-based practice and formal study, they move between performance and storytelling, often grounding material in lived detail rather than plot mechanics. In New York venues and small-room series, Mohtasham has taken on roles that privilege voice, pacing, and the ethics of representation. Their performances tend to favor clarity over spectacle, letting the audience do some of the work.
