“I Can’t Indian Good” is a comedic solo show written/performed by Brandon Raman, a first generation Indian-American with zero ties to India, exploring how you can build a sense of personal identity when you feel culturally adrift. Sometimes all you need is a carpooling herd of (imaginary) ancestors.

With the infamous Pontianak, a most feared female ghost, lurking close by, a Malay-Muslim woman, Chomel, navigates the hantu-hantu (ghosts) of her mother, her grandma, and herself. As the stories of the women in her family unfold, the Pontianak also reveals her own horrific tale.
