Teen Comedian Sarah Kosrovi

Punchline Magazine’s article on Sarah Kosrovi — whose stage name is “Sarah Kay” — caught my attention. Sarah Kosrovi is unlike most comedians. For one, she’s younger. Now 16-years old, Kosrovi began performing live comedy at eleven.

Kosrovi shares something in common with Bob Saget. Kosrovi’s grandmother and Saget’s sister both died of scleroderma, a disease for which there is no known cure. Both Kosrovi and Saget help raise money for scleroderma research to find a cure.

Kosrovi’s grandmother passed on when Kosrovi was six years old. Her mom was devastated and Kosrovi began telling jokes to cheer her up.  (Jim Carrey, too, began his comedic journey to cheer up his mom.) At age 11, Kosrovi began to play comedy clubs and private parties in San Jose, Calif. and donated her earnings to scleroderma research. On stage, Kasrovi mostly talks about her family, depicting her parents’ accents and their old-fashioned ways.

Her more aged counterparts should be jealous. If she keeps on going as she is, by the time she’s in her twenties, she’ll have hours of solid material in her coffer, something that most comedians can only dream of at such an early age.

This April, Kosrovi’s mother organized the “Celebration of Life Comedy Show,” a fundraiser for the Scleroderma Research Foundation. Kasrovi was one of the six performers.

Good luck finding more about her online, though. There’s nothing on YouTube or Facebook. The San Jose Mercury News articles about her are no longer archived. Please let me know if you find out more about her — news, photos, vlogs, gigs, . . . anything.
