I Am Citizen Abels

Breezing through school and getting a full ride to medical school, Priyanka had it all on the surface. But as she was examining depressed patients for their symptoms, she suddenly realized that being a full-time doctor would drive her mad, so she picked up stand-up comedy and never looked back. Named by Refinery29 as “50 Female Stand-Up Comedians You Need To Know”, Priyanka Wali is a stand-up comedienne who performs routinely all throughout California, including corporate gigs, casinos and comedy clubs. She has been featured in Women’s Health Magazine, The Today Show, Uproxx, Cosmopolitan and Healthline. She truly believes laughter is the best medicine, but likes to cover her bases as a board-certified practicing physician in Internal Medicine too. She currently works as a full-time comedian and part time physician and is known for speaking out about flaws in our current healthcare system.
