Every Friday Modelface Comedy brings you the best comedians from all over the country!

Dauood Naimyar recently taped a Comedy Central stand-up set in February and can next be seen in Comedy Central’s TALES FROM THE TRIP. Last year, Dauood was just a New Face at Just For Laughs 2022. Dauood’s comedic perspective is shaped by the duality of his constant need to fit in, and his relentless desire to be different. His search for being relatable, yet controversial has brought audiences joy for nine years- and will probably continue until he finally figures out who he is. We hope he doesn’t, ‘cause bills need to be paid. Dauood also has over 150K followers on TikTok and keeps building a large audience.

Every Sunday Modelface Comedy brings you the best stand up comedians from all over the country! This week we have Ginny Hogan from NYC!!!

Ginny Hogan is an NYC-based writer and stand up comic. She’s a contributor for The New Yorker, The Atlantic, The Cut, The New York Times, Cosmopolitan, The Observer, McSweeney’s, The Daily Beast, Vulture, and Comedy Central. Forbes profiled her as a rising satire star, and she was on Paste’s list of top humorists. She now touring with her one-woman stand-up show, Regression: Overanalyzing 30 Years of Skewed Data, which she’s bringing to the Edinburgh Fringe this summer (tickets here). She’s recording her first stand up special in October 13th in NYC, get tickets here!

You can watch more of her stand up here. She has a newsletter—I HOPE YOU MISSED IT—of all the political news she really hopes you missed. She makes it funny, though (she promises!).

In 2022, Chronicle Books published Ginny’s second humor collection I’M MORE DATEABLE THAN A PLATE OF REFRIED BEANS. Excerpts have been featured in the New Yorker, Bustle, and the Cut, and it was named a top Vulture humor book of 2022 and a New Yorker best book of 2022. She has a new book for Chronicle out Fall 2023.

In 2021, Ginny wrote Yes We Mustard, an Audible Original scripted comedy about a corrupt condiments tech startup. It was selected for their Best of 2021 list, and was rated their #1 comedy in 2021. You can listen here. She’s currently working on a new Audible project, the Great Indoors, due Fall 2023.

In 2019, Ginny published a book of humorous essays, Toxic Femininity in the Workplace, with HarperCollins, which was included on Vulture’s list of top 10 comedy books of 2019.

Ginny tweets what can only be described as “a reasonable amount” @ginnyhogan_. Her Twitter is the best way to find out where she’s doing stand up, what she’s writing, who she has a crush on, what she ate for breakfast, and perhaps the source of that rash. You can also subscribe to her monthly newsletter here.

The Reuter Family YMCA is one of seven local YMCAs operated by the YMCA of Western North Carolina, a nonprofit that strengthens local communities through youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. Founded in 1889, the YMCA of WNC engages more than 100,000 people – regardless of age, income, or background – to nurture the potential of children and teens, improve the region’s health and well being, and provide opportunities to give back and support the community. For more information, please visit ymcawnc.org.

Join them to celebrate a greener future for the Reuter Family YMCA! You’re invited to a ribbon cutting to mark the installation of solar panels on the facility roof. This project was made possible by YMCA members Pete and Pat Wallenborn. Their generous gift helps the Y take a significant step toward sustainability and demonstrates our commitment to environmental stewardship. The Wallenborns will be recognized at the event. Attendees include representatives from Sundance Solar, the YMCA, and the Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce. Light refreshments will be served. Meet at the front entrance of the Reuter Family YMCA on the Biltmore Park side. In case of rain, the event will be held in the lobby.

Access to equity for real estate deals is (more than) hard if you are black or a woman. Access to investment opportunities in real estate was impossible for all but the wealthiest until recently. Learn about moves made by the Obama administration that have led to a nascent but robust investment community online. And learn how SmallChange.co, a crowdfunding investment platform, has leveraged these rules to shake up the real estate industry big time. Eve Picker’s world is wrapped around cities and change. With a background as an architect, city planner, urban designer, real estate developer, community development strategist, publisher, and instigator, Eve has a rich understanding of how cities and urban neighborhoods work – and how they can be revitalized. Eve launched and leads Small Change, a real estate equity crowdfunding portal to help fund transformational real estate projects. Small Change connects every day investors with developers to help them build projects that make cities better, and provides investment opportunities for everyone who cares about cities and wants to see positive change. Small Change focuses on impact in 3 ways: 1) They measure the impact of each project to ensure they are equitable and innovative; 2) They embrace emerging minority & women developers; and 3) Everyone (18+) can invest to build wealth on Small Change. The Building Our City Speaker Series is presented by The Grove Arcade Public Market Foundation with support from the Asheville Downtown Association Foundation, the City of Asheville, Carleton Collins Architecture, Mosaic Lifestyle Realty, Kimpton Hotel Arras and The Collider. The series is produced by the Asheville Downtown Association and Urban3.
