Ziwe: Comedian in New York

About Ziwe

Ziwe is an American comedian, writer, and actress whose work uses satire to probe politics, race, and the contradictions of young adulthood. Onstage and on camera, she builds comedy from pointed questions and controlled escalation, often letting discomfort do part of the work. In New York City, she has appeared at National Sawdust as part of the VAGABON & FRIENDS series alongside artists including Vagabon and Amindi. Her performances favor precision over spectacle, with a reporter’s ear for what people say and what they avoid saying.
