Aliens of Extraordinary Ability

Orli Matlow and Felipe Torres Medina are two un-American comedians, from Canada and Colombia, respectively. We were granted the privilege to live and work in the United States thanks to the O-1 visa, a visa granted to “aliens of extraordinary ability.”

Our show will highlight comedians and artists from abroad as we discuss our home countries and the process of moving to the United States. Proceeds will go to RAICES (Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services)
