Based on true events, GIRLS AREN’T FUNNY is a fresh and daring dramedy that centers on Amamah, a young Pakistani-American comedian who leads a double life. On one hand, Amamah tries to please her traditional Muslim mother, who's trying to set up Amamah on various arranged-marriage dates back at home on Long Island, and on the other hand, Amamah secretly pursues her real passion, stand up comedy in NYC. Amamah’s unrelenting ambition to achieve her dreams in the competitive male-dominated comedy industry coupled with her growing web of lies jeopardizes her relationship with her mother, her friends, and her sanity.
