Massachusetts-born standup comic Alingon Mitra has all the bonafides, both as a performer (Conan, Last Comic Standing, Craig Ferguson, Colbert) and as a writer (The Daily Show, Adam Ruins Everything, the Harvard Lampoon). He loves Katy Perry, the pope and reality TV, doesn’t like the word “gonorrhea,” and has deep suspicions about the sexual politics of football. He’s headlining four nights—through Dec. 16—at Rooster T. Feathers in Sunnyvale, appearing with fellow comics Michael Cella and Emily Catalano.
