Pooja Reddy is a Brooklyn-based comedy writer and stand-up comedian, raised in rural Kentucky with roots in Hyderabad, India. She began her career in Washington, DC, working for First Lady Michelle Obama and then at the United Nations Foundation - natural stepping stones to stand-up comedy.
Her work blends comedy, storytelling, and cultural commentary through contributions to PBS’ ALL ARTS Network and Disney’s Localish, and through collaborations with organizations like Yellow Dot Studios and Doc Society.
Pooja is also the co-host of Kutti Gang, a New York Times and Time Out New York recommended comedy show. The show has headlined Carolines on Broadway, been featured in the New York Comedy Festival, and released a special on PBS’ ALL ARTS Network.
Currently, she is a member of The Public Theater’s 2025–2026 Joe’s Pub Working Group, where she is developing her solo show, Pooja Reddy is White Trash. Her writing and performances have been featured widely, including in New York Magazine and in the 2025 Emmy-nominated special Voices Rising on PBS.
Off stage, Pooja can usually be found catching up on shifts at her food co-op, playing rummy, or riding horses - still chasing the glory of her peak equestrian achievement: hobby horse champion of the 1999 Etoile Community Fair.
