Recent TV hits like “Reservation Dogs” and Ed Helms’ “Rutherford Falls” speak to popularity of Native American comedy. Folks in the Bay Area can watch some of the ecosystem’s biggest names perform at “Good Medicine: A Night of Live Native Stand Up” at the Oakland Museum of California.
“Our community is chock-full of talented artists creating content relevant to our experience that turns the mainstream idea of what it is to be Native American on its head,” says Jackie Keliiaa, the Oakland comedian producing and hosting the event. (Buy tickets now, because 2021’s “Good Medicine” sold out.)
The lineup includes three national comics: Siena East, Kasey Nicholson and Dash Turner. “On this show you won’t find any stoic Hollywood tropes; we are using comedy to redefine Native identity in our own words and on our own terms,” Keliiaa says. “This art is urgent. It needs to be heard, lauded, celebrated and supported.”
The 90-minute show takes place on the grass under the stars, so bring a blanket or low chair. There will be food and drinks for sale, an artisan market with jewelry and apparel and afterward a DJ dance party with jams from Native and East Bay bands.
Details: May 14, 7:30 pm; 1000 Oak St., Oakland; $25 tickets (discounts for students, seniors and EBT holders) available at museumca.org/2022/good-medicine-native-comedy-show
