Stanford Bound: Surviving the College Application Chaos with Humor

Whether you're deep in the trenches of SAT prep or just beginning to ponder your college list, this performance is a must-see for anyone looking to find joy and laughter amidst the stress. Join Ritu, an incoming Stanford student and Bay Area native, as she dives into the intense (and often absurd) world of college prep. From surviving research marathons to plowing through sleep deprivation, she'll share her personal journey with a much needed dose of comedy.

This show, which Stanford University has not endorsed or laughed at (officially), features refreshingly genuine stories about navigating expectations, discovering passions, and finding humor in the chaos. Get ready to laugh and cringe as you recognize yourself (or your kid!) in anecdotes about the West Coast's unique brand of college stress.

Ritu has performed stand-up at Stanford and comedy clubs like Rooster T Feathers, Comedy Oakland, and Yuk Yuk’s in Toronto. She’s the founder of At the Intersection Series, which hosts open mic nights across the Bay Area to address hot-button topics using humor.
