Mitra Jouhari

Before Mitra Jouhari hit stages, she found her way into a creative field through the most studious of ways: raising her hand. “Since I was in Ohio, and I really did not have any built-in connections or anything like that, I think it just removed any kind of shame about asking for things,” she says about her college days, laughing. “When people would come through Ohio, I felt compelled to ask if they could help me. And it was pretty life-changing for me.” Her “asking for things” stacked her résumé: interning with “The Daily Show” and “Late Night With Seth Meyers,” writing on “Big Mouth” and “The President Show,” guesting on “Abbott Elementary” and co-creating the surreal “Three Busy Debras” with Sandy Honig and Alyssa Stonoha, which will premiere its second season on Adult Swim on April 24.

Comedian and actress, a writer, a podcast host, a comedy host. Are you just out to take over the world?

[Laughs.] No. I just really, really like what I do. Writing in a writers room exposes me to a lot of different perspectives and writing styles and ideas. And that further solidifies my voice, which then feeds into my own writing and my own stand-up. It’s like an ecosystem.

Stand-up is a different muscle.

It totally is. The amazing thing about working on “Three Busy Debras” is we started working together very early on in our comedy journeys-slash-careers. They’re the people that I’m the biggest fans of. So if they’re laughing at something that I do, that’s kind of the ultimate compliment to me.

Tell me what to expect from your show. It’s an hourlong show that I’ve been slowly developing over the pandemic. I really was not feeling super funny or fun or creative for a large part of it. And then I started working on this essay where I talk about what my sexual fantasy would be: It’s a nice day outside and I am wearing a cute outfit. And the day is going really well. And it doesn’t have much to do with sex for a lot of it. It was just this kind of fun little side project. And then I started performing it when shows started happening again. I was having so much fun writing it and then it kept getting more surreal and elaborate.
