With October just a couple days aways, the holiday season is just around the corner (and we’re not just talking about Thanksgiving and Christmas). Several very celebratory holidays from around the world are in line to happen very soon including Diwali, a festival of lights celebrated throughout the MENASA part of the world.

As such, one shouldn’t miss out on Arti Gollapudi and Maya Deshmukh’s annual comedy celebration of Diwali at The Bell House in Brooklyn that will be giving its proceeds to the crucial relief needs in Pakistan via the Alkhidmat Foundation. For this year’s Diwali Party, Arti and Maya, so far, have Zubi Ahmed, Aparna Nancherla, and Pooja Reddy on the bill and plenty more TBA.

Diwali Party is set for Sun. Oct. 23rd at 7:30PM. Tickets are $15 in advance and you better go get tickets here.

Before even acknowledging that its Pride Month, any time of the year is a great time of year to catch Sophie Santos‘ quest for queer dominance via her creation, The Lesbian Agenda. That said, it’s Pride and it’s an especially good time to go support great queer artists of every background, especially when it comes to live comedy.

The Lesbian Agenda has already taken over both coasts by firmly planting roots in NYC and LA, which is a pretty great start to cultural domination in the U.S.

In fact, there are upcoming dates for both cities with The Lesbian Agenda taking over The Bell House in Brooklyn on Mon. Jun. 13th and Dynasty Typewriter in LA on Tues. Jun. 28th, both at 7:30PM local time. Both have incredibly stacked, festival-worthy line-ups including:

NYC:
Ashley Gavin
Sirbaby Girl
Matt Rogers
Sabrina Wu
Julia Shiplett
Jess Henderson
Maya Deshmukh as Cara Delevingne
Che Diaz
