Subhah Agarwal has brought an honesty to her comedy that is refreshing, and at times a bit disturbing… but in a good way. Trust me. Subhah has written for the “Plan B” movie on Hulu, and “The Jim Jefferies Show”on Comedy Central, amongst others. You can also catch her jokes live at stand up comedy clubs across the country. If you don’t want to leave your couch, you can see her late night debut on NBC’s “A Little Late With Lilly Singh.” She’s also appeared on season three of HBO’s “Westworld”, on TruTv’s sketch comedy “Friends of the People”, and as herself on MTV2, Comedy Central, and Gotham Comedy Live.
