San Diego, this one's for you. Desi Comedy Fest, the biggest South Asian comedy festival in America
San Diego, this one's for you. Desi Comedy Fest, the biggest South Asian comedy festival in America, brings its SoCal Tour to the Gaslamp for one night only.
Our mission is simple: showcase the funniest comedians of South Asian heritage from around the globe and create a live comedy experience unlike anything else. Six to eight comedians share one stage, back to back, for two hours of nonstop laughs.
The lineup celebrates the full diversity of the diaspora: Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan, Nepali and beyond. From Bollywood to brown parents to growing up between two cultures, this is comedy that hits different when the whole room gets the joke.
And everybody's invited, no translation needed. Featured on NBC, CBS, Just For Laughs and SF Sketchfest, the Fest has sold out rooms across America for over a decade, with comedians who have been part of Netflix Is A Joke, launched specials on Amazon and HBO, and appeared on late night from Letterman to Conan.
Saturday November 7 it finally lands in San Diego at National Lampoon: The Yellow Door.

🌅 CONNECT — Golden Hour + Community
We’ll close the afternoon surrounded by community as the sun sets over San Diego.

Many people in San Diego County know about the German American Societies, located in El Cajon, mostly, because of the annual Oktoberfest held here on the first two weekends of October. I, however, know the “Society” because I was one of the students of the German School of San Diego repeatedly taking part in Christmas presentations (“Weihnachtsfeier”) and graduation parties there. The atmosphere of the Club house and the entire performances were simply wonderful. This is why I became interested in the “Society” and to find out more about the Club I interviewed the Business Manager, Mrs. Heidi Williams, from whom I learned a lot about its history. For years she is reaching out and is opening the club’s doors to the youth in the community and the German classes in High Schools and Colleges.
More than 50 years ago, thousands of German native speakers decided to found a club where they could meet, speak their native language, and remember their old countries. However, they also wanted to include interested Americans and other nationalities to share their heritage, customs, traditions, and culture with them.
For over a hundred years there had been a German presence in San Diego County, such as through the German Club of the San Diego Turners, who published a German-language weekly as early as the late 1800’s. But it was on May 8th, 1965 that a handful of determined Germans started the German American Societies in the Turner Hall. They immediately created a number of activity groups, many of which still exist today: the Germania Choir, Damenkreis (Women’s Circle), the German Language Classes, Karneval Season, Skat (card game gatherings), the annual Oktoberfest, Open House, Balls, Dances, Concerts and Fests throughout the year.
In the early days the “Society” soon became so popular that 1500 members joined the Club. In 1971 the “Society” was finally able to buy and rebuild its own Club house on 1017 South Mollison Avenue in El Cajon. Many Club members bought thousands of dollars worth of building blocks so that the Club house could become the great place it is today.
For 46 years the German American Societies’ mission has been to unite Germans and other nationalities interested in German culture through various social, cultural, and educational activities and to foster and enjoy good fellowship and mutual respect between peoples from all cultures.
Since 1997, the Southern California American Indian Resource Center, Inc. (SCAIR) has been a trusted pillar of support for Native American, Alaska Native, and Hawaiian Native families throughout the El Cajon, CA area and San Diego County. This community-based tribal organization was founded on a simple but powerful mission: to empower Native Americans and their families to reach their personal and professional goals by providing career guidance, educational resources, cultural enrichment, mental health support, and practical assistance when they need it most.
What sets SCAIR apart is its deep understanding of the specific challenges faced by Native American communities and its commitment to working alongside participants as partners in their success. Established under the authority of the Indian Self Determination and Education Act of 1976, SCAIR operates as a 501(c)(3) non-profit with roots firmly planted in tribal governance and community values. The organization goes beyond traditional service delivery by fostering genuine relationships with the families it serves, recognizing that lasting change comes from addressing not just immediate needs, but the underlying barriers that prevent individuals from thriving. Whether through career development, educational support, cultural programming, or emergency assistance, SCAIR's team of dedicated professionals and Senior Advisors work collaboratively to help Native American families in El Cajon and throughout the region build stronger futures while maintaining connection to their cultural heritage and community.
