Changemaker Series: Rishi Mathur, Nikki Chawla, Prateek Srivastava and Raghu Adibhatla

Join us to meet our Changemakers Rishi and Nikki. Spend and evening with them before their Chicago show learning about the challenges and opportunities they have had as young Indian comedians.  

We will be giving them an honorarium on behalf of all of us for spending the evening with us.  The ticket covers your entire family.  We  encourage you bring your high school age children with you. Please do not bring younger children as some of the topics/jokes may not be age appropriate.  Please bring an food item to share with the group.   Either a savory or sweet appetizer would be great.  

Tickets to their actual Chicago show on March 30th can be purchased at https://www.eventcombo.com/e/east-meets-midwest-comedy---chicago-30901
