My Comedy

If I had three words to describe my comedy style they’d be: bold, thoughtful, and irreverent.

My work is mostly autobiographical, and ranges in subject from code-switching to gang encounters.

I perform all over DC, MD and VA. And sometimes NYC.

  • When Bahlya Yansane delves into the meaning of his name, he uncovers the shadowy depths of his family's past. Confronting his blackness, he finds himself entangled with a gang and embarks on a decade-long immersion into whiteness. Amidst this journey, he searches for a sense of belonging in a solo comedy-drama experience lasting an hour. Will he ultimately discover the elusive concept of black joy?

About me

I’m Bahlya Yansané (pronounced Ba-lee-yah Yan-suh-nay). I’m a stand-up comedian, writer, and producer. You’ll probably get my name right by our third interaction. 

I started my comedy career at Upright Citizens Brigade, The Peoples Improv Theatre, and Brooklyn Comedy Collective. 

Now, I perform all over New York and host two monthly shows.

  • They Were Nice to Me: A stand-up comedy show.

  • Anything But Stand-Up: A comedy variety show featuring improv, sketch, characters, storytelling, and musical comedy
