Kiran Deol

My guest this episode is Kiran Deol, the Emmy-nominated, Oscar-longlisted comedian, actor, writer, director, filmmaker and documentarian. As an actor, she’s performed in shows like Sunnyside, How to Get Away With Murder and Modern Family, she’s a co-host on Crooked Media’s Hysteria podcast and has made films as a writer/director for HBO and Sundance.

Over our conversation, we explore the difference in appearing on a long running network show versus originating a role, how she turned trauma into comedy, the underlying current of curiosity throughout all her work, and so much more.

Recorded at the Edinburgh Fringe, August 2023.
