Sat 4/6 - Anna Akana: It Gets Darker at Arts at The Armory

  • Arts At The Armory 191 Highland Avenue Somerville, MA, 02143 United States (map)

After a stalking incident forced Anna into retirement for 6 years, she’s back – and armed with a restraining order and a plethora of new stories to tell. Anna Akana is a comedian, actress and writer. As an actress, she can be seen in Marvel’s Ant-Man, Comedy Central’s Corporate, Netflix’s Jupiter’s Legacy and the Emmy-nominated Youtube RED series she executive produced and starred in, Youth & Consequences. Her Youtube channel has a following of over 2.8 million subscribers, where she tackles a variety of mental health focused comedy content. As a writer, hopefully she’ll someday emerge from development hell (with networks FX, Netflix, and HBOMax) for you to witness her work. Diablo Cody once said, “Anna’s a brilliant and poignant writer,” so either way, she can now die at peace.
