Ashoka Thomas is a seasoned veteran comedian originally from DC who regularly performs across the country at clubs like Zanie's (Chicago) and Hollywood Improv. When I first ran into Ashoka in LA, I thought he was Russell Peters. He's actually ethnically half-Jewish. I first ran into him at places like the Fourth Wall and Flashback studios and learned a lot from him. We were also in NYC during the same time together although we didn't know each other back then. We talked about a lot of things depression, mental health, drugs and dating-related. He gave me a lot of great advice on women! ;) he thought that none of the women comedians on my Terry Bu 48 list of LA comedians were attractive. He likes Sydney Sweeney. Thank you so much, Ashoka!
