I create experiences people actually feel—on stage, on camera, at events, and everywhere creativity meets real connection.
Long before I called myself a comedian or host, I was the person friends and family trusted to make every moment memorable.
Believe it or not, my career began in corporate finance. And if we’re being totally honest, I was mostly there to fund my globe-trotting lifestyle in my twenties. But somewhere between spreadsheets and international adventures, I discovered a passion that had nothing to do with numbers.
The first chapter of my creative journey began somewhere I would have never predicted: Indian weddings. One minute I was a guest, the next I was being handed a mic, making a speech, performing a skit, or choreographing a dance. Before I knew it, I was involved in multiple weddings a year and I loved it. I found myself fascinated by the ability to entertain and elevate the vibe of an event.
That realization inspired me to take improv and stand-up comedy classes while still working full-time. The more I performed, the more confident I became behind the mic, eventually finding my way into stand-up comedy, producing live shows, hosting events, and performing on camera. What started as a passion evolved into a career built around storytelling, connection, and creating moments people remember.
I may not have stayed in finance forever, but I definitely kept the useful parts. Years of budgets, forecasts, deadlines, and corporate meetings taught me how to plan, communicate, collaborate, and most importantly, get 👏 things 👏 done. Now I just get to apply those skills to projects I’m genuinely excited about.
Today, I bring both sides of my experience to everything I do: the creativity to dream it up, the business acumen to make it happen, and the energy to make it unforgettable.
Concept development, run of show, talent coordination, budgeting, and guest-first creative direction for live events and custom experiences—from original scripts and interactive formats to the tiny details that make it all feel effortless.
Stand-up, live show production, cultural storytelling, and interactive segments that turn a crowd into part of the show.
High-energy, quick-on-my-feet hosting for weddings, corporate events, cultural celebrations, comedy shows, and audience-led formats.
Creator of an original podcast, guest on others, and a voiceover performer who loves meaningful, insightful conversations that go beyond the surface and make people feel heard.
On-camera performance, social-first storytelling, man-on-the-street interviews, and content that feels human instead of overly polished.
Creative choreography personally tailored to each couple, group, and experience level—with confidence-building direction that helps every performer look and feel good on the dance floor.
One person. Many ways to move a room.
A little stand-up, a little crowd work, and a lot of proof that the audience is never just watching—they’re part of it.
The show might be the reason everyone arrives. The community is the reason they stay.
Priya isn’t only a comedian—she produces, hosts, and performs in her own live shows. She began by creating South Asian comedy showcases featuring performers at every stage of their careers, from nationally touring headliners to emerging comics stepping onto larger stages for the first time. Her goal was to create opportunities for talented voices who were often overlooked by the traditional Los Angeles comedy scene. Because why not create the stage if the stage isn’t creating space for you?
Priya has produced Los Angeles’s largest South Asian variety comedy show, bringing audiences of 250+ people for stand-up, sketch, improv, an interactive dating segment, and an after-party designed for the audience and performers to connect because sometimes the audience deserves a storyline too. She’s produced shows at Laugh Factory, HaHa Comedy Club, Hotel Café, Bourbon Room, Kookaburra Lounge, and Starlight Cabaret and recently produced her first show in New York at Broadway Comedy Club.
Her shows are more than just shows for her, they are opportunities to bring the community together. As Priya became more involved in the entertainment scene and continuously supports creatives, she receives that same support now as her shows grew into gathering places for actors, writers, producers, dancers, DJs, singers, entrepreneurs, and other creators. For her, the show might be the reason everyone arrives, but the community is the reason they stay. She genuinely wants people to expand their network and maybe leave with a new friend, collaborator, client or a hot date!
From the first welcome to the final dance, Priya creates wedding entertainment that actually feels like the couple at the center of it.
With more than 30 weddings hosted, Priya blends crowd connection, comedy, storytelling, and choreography into one seamless experience—so the night feels personal, energetic, and never like a copy-and-paste wedding program.

Original scripts, comedy sketches, voiceovers, interactive moments, and full entertainment concepts inspired by the couple’s real story.

Priya has the highest energy and commitment and really brought something special to our wedding.
Priya is such a professional!! Priya organized the Sangeet performance for our wedding and it could not have been smoother. It was personalized for me and my now husband and even included a special character in the skit, our precious golden retriever Ralphie. Best part—Priya acted in the skit as Ralphie!!! So adorable and made our night. The skit included multiple inside jokes and scenes from our love story—we couldn't stop smiling and laughing.
The dances were so much fun to see our family and friends perform for us, even those that don't normally dance! Priya was also able to include me in one of the dances with my friends as a surprise for my husband. The dance tutorial videos Priya sent out were very easy to follow and she really breaks down each move in a very understandable way. I had no problem practicing alone since I live in a different city than the majority of my close friends.
Priya allowed us to be very hands off for our Sangeet night, which I can't thank her enough for. We didn't have a planner. Priya was our MC for the night, and we gave Priya the information for our venue coordinator and DJ. She helped organize, corral individuals, and have the night go off without a hitch.
Priya has the highest energy and commitment and really brought something special to our wedding. It wouldn't have been the same without her! Our photographer was absolutely obsessed with Priya and made it a point to let us know the next day at our reception! We love you, Priya!!
Her skillset with choreography, storytelling, musicality, and humor are the perfect and most unique and unmatched gift.
You plan for months (and sometimes years) for your big day. And when it comes and goes, there are moments that stay with you, but a lot of it is a blur. The crispest and most meaningful memory we have is the dance and skit performance that Priya pulled together for us.
She seamlessly managed to work with our huge family and entire groups of friends so every person we loved was a part of recreating our story. She tailored the dances to meet the skill set of others so everyone could participate. In the skit, she added in tender moments and hilarious jokes, leaving guests feeling both the warmth and levity in our relationship.
She was so easy to work with, always open to ideas, and delivered an expertly crafted production. Her skillset with choreography, storytelling, musicality, and humor are the perfect and most unique and unmatched gift. Hire her! You won’t regret it.
Priya’s command of a room is phenomenal, her dance skills are top notch, her style is on point, but the best thing about her is that she knows how to share these skills to make sure everyone has a good time.

At our wedding, she choreographed multiple dances for people depending on their comfort and ability, and sent out videos breaking down each step so everyone from the shyest cousins to the most uncoordinated of uncles could participate and have fun. She worked with both sides of our families to learn our story and make skits that were not only entertaining, but meaningful.
Most of all, no matter how many other voices were in the room, she made sure to prioritize our wishes as the bride and groom and make sure our day was actually ours. She is truly fantastic. No matter what your needs are or how crazy or dramatic things get, Priya has got you.
Our wedding was three years ago, and to this day the first thing people mention is how unforgettable the skit was.
Asking Priya Mehta to headline our wedding performance was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. Her creativity and positive energy are truly unmatched.
For our sangeet, we wanted a 15–20 minute skit with dance performances that told the story of how we met and our journey to the auspicious day.
Priya, being the superstar she is, ran with that vision and inspiration and took it to the next level. From writing a hilarious script, teaching the choreography for multiple dances virtually and in person, arranging the props, and even working with our DJs to seamlessly cue everything up, Priya handled it all like only an expert can. She worked tirelessly to ensure every detail was perfect. It meant the world to be able to watch our closest friends and family be included and perform so well. Her energy is contagious and it showed in the performance—she absolutely KILLED IT!!!
Our wedding was three years ago and to this day, whenever anyone reminisces about our special day, the first thing they mention is how unforgettable the skit was. And we have Priya to thank :)
