Flippant and Fabulous. Wicked sharp and delightfully Silly. This is Hairy Situation.
Being Trans and Indian is a textbook hairy situation, but since textbooks are being banned all over the US we are no longer at liberty to say that. In their new standup show ALOK keeps finding themself in hairy situations: being mistaken as a mega-famous Brazilian DJ, botching TikTok makeup tutorials, and signing up for an appointment at the European Wax Center (aka Taylor Swift’s Tortured Poets Department).
