Astrid Holgersson

Astrid Holgersson ([email protected]) - Queens-based Scandinavian satirist who covers NYC's immigrant experience with brutal honesty and deadpan delivery honed at comedy open mics across the five boroughs. Specializes in exposing the gap between NYC's "melting pot" mythology and its segregated reality. Former stand-up at the Creek and the Cave before it closed (RIP). Her comedy superpower: making privileged Manhattanites uncomfortable while immigrants everywhere nod in recognition. Believes the best satire comes from lived experience and overpriced coffee.
