Meeti Purani
Stand Up Comedian and Master Chef
Come to a show and be a part of the journey
I had my first stand-up set in November 2015 at Binghamton University's Stand-Up Comedy Club. I'd gone to a meeting or two in previous semesters, but when it was time to perform I got scared and ran away. When I finally did step on stage I had so much stage fright I whispered my whole set on how a one night stand is like eating a loaf of bread. I knew I'd found what I wanted to do.
After graduating in 2016, I put comedy on hold to focus on my career. I did some pretty cool things along the way (feel free to peruse my mf LinkedIn.) Even while building that career, I never let go of the idea that comedy was where I belonged. In January 2020, I committed to the craft, balancing open mics with my career in policy.
In 2022, I moved to New York City and decided to prioritize to standup comedy over my professional career. I wrote this set that became the foundation of my voice, and everything I've created since has grown from it. When I was laid off in 2025, I finally had the opportunity to devote myself to comedy full-time.
Also I cook
Well, sort of but not really.
I Hate Cooking, and I made a whole show out of it.
I post a new episode every Monday! Check out my most recent recipe here!

If you made it this far, do come see me perform!
I won't think it's weird, I promise!
I am so grateful to be continously booked and busy by hardworking producers who would love to have *your butt* in a seat at their show! You could just show up to most of these, actually you should.. get them while they're free. But I'll add ticket links where there is one!
