In Where Is My Wife? Dr. Seema Yasmin's one woman show, she mines the chaos of ambition, immigration, and the ghosts of ancestors—generations of repressed women—whose unfinished dreams she’s trying to complete before lunch; all while searching for her ideal match: a Malibu Power Lesbian.
Dr. Seema Yasmin is an Emmy award-winning journalist, former CNN reporter, disease detective, author, clown, and comedian, in a long-term, ethically non-monogamous relationship with her careers.
Nthenya is a Kenyan-born stand-up comedian, actress, and writer who brings a global perspective and razor-sharp wit to every stage. Raised between Vancouver and the American South, her comedy explores identity, culture shocks, and the beauty of contradiction. You’ve seen her on Shameless, Loosely, Exactly Nicole, and in Lifetime and Hallmark hits like The Suicide Note and Accidentally Engaged. She’s a two-time Just for Laughs Montreal Stand-up & Pitch winner, KTLA’s Summer of Funny champ, and recently showcased her half-hour special at Y’ALL Fest. From co-owning LA’s only Black, female-run comedy space to developing award-winning projects, Nthenya is carving her own lane – and inviting you along for the ride.
Domesticate Me is Nthenya’s response to being an unexpected wife and mother, unpacking the cultural, socio economic and hypocritical differences between: independence and partnership; the immigrant hustle and suburban comfort.
