Sierra Katow interview

Sierra Katow is a Pasadena-native, 4th generation Japanese/Chinese comedian who's got a Computer Science degree from Harvard and 2300-something on her SATs which makes her super Asian. She is more known for being a LA-based standup comic, writer, and actor who's performed standup on Last Comic Standing (NBC) Season 9 as the youngest comedian to be featured. She was also on Last Call with Carson Daly (NBC), Just For Laughs Digital, FOX, and MTV. She shot her first hourlong standup special with Comedy Dynamics and can be seen playing Evangeline on both seasons of Mindy Kaling's The Sex Lives of College Girls on Max and was a part of the main cast of The G Word with Adam Conover on Netflix (I myself was cast on Mindy Kaling's The Sex Lives of College Girls as a background actor "Soccer Fan" sitting on the bleachers in a scene last year so Sierra is a lot more successful than me). We performed together at the Ice House in 2024 thanks to Caroline Yu/Jacob Demick and Golden Laughs group! I first saw Sierra on Last Comic Standing a long long time ago on TV and recognized her at the Ice House. Sierra was super chill and super open to being interviewed for this podcast when I reached out to her. We discussed a lot of different things involving her upbringing, her confusing life choices, her white husband and of course her comedy. She started doing standup a long long time ago as a teenager and has kept up with it ever since which makes her a comedy grandmother in the scene although she's just hit her 30s. We also both like basketball and Korean people. She did not seem like a big fan of Trump. Thank you so much again for the chat, Sierra! Please catch her performing all over LA and follow her at @sierrakatow on instagram. #terrybupodcast#sierrakatow#losangelescomedyscene #comedianstalkasian#asianamericancomedians #losangelesasiancomedians
