Good Medicine at YBG Festival

Co-founded by Oakland stand-up comic Jackie Keliiaa, the smash hit, all-Native comedy revue Good Medicine has sold-out venues around the country, including A.C.T’s Strand Theater. More than a comedy showcase, Good Medicine lives up to its billing, cultivating joy and community while transforming clichéd narratives about Native life. “You won’t find any stoic Hollywood tropes in these sets,” says Keliiaa, who was raised in Hayward and draws inspiration and material from her Native American, Native Hawaiian, Portuguese and Italian heritage. “These comedians are using humor to define Native identity in our own words and on our own terms.” Don’t miss the latest edition of this nationally acclaimed tour featuring the best and brightest Native comedians from across North America.

Hosted by Keliiaa and featuring comics Gigi Modrich, Ernie Tsosie and Dash Turner.
