<p>A funny, furious, and deeply personal solo show about the stories we tell ourselves, how long they hold, and what's left when they finally don't.</p><p> Part immigrant epic, part celebrity confession, part 3am parental spiral, Aasif Mandvi traces the journey of the immigrant boy who crossed an ocean to chase the American dream, mastered every room he was never supposed to be in, and perfected the art of making the right people comfortable, only to realize that all along, the joke was on him. </p>
