Camirin Farmer on the Intersection of Astrology & Comedy
Description
I’m happy I met Camirin before I read their official bio because it’s extensive. And intimidating, I’m not even going to try to summarize it:
Camirin Farmer is a nonbinary, queer, black performer & astrologer based in Los Angeles, CA. After beginning their comedic career in Baltimore, MD which included performing stand up at ARTSCAPE, America’s largest free art festival, they returned to their hometown of Los Angeles where they have now been for the last 7 years. Over that time they have explored various avenues of comedy: improv and sketch at Second City Hollywood that began with joining the cast of the main stage production Some F*cking Advice, and concluding with being a member of the house sketch team Hot Flan; various stand up shows, including Hot Tub with Kurt & Kristen, Helltrap Nightmare, the Funny or Die showcase, and many self produced shows at The Elysian Theater; and multiple clown performances, specifically their hour long solo shows titled Fart Piss Puke and God Vessel. In 2020 Camirin began to fuse their appreciation for astrology, and comedic practice with their astrology based advice show Your Virgo Friend, Camirin on the streaming website Eternal Family. While producing, and hosting the show, Camirin’s study of astrology, although self explored, became deeper. In 2023 Camirin began a more serious study of astrology under the tutelage of Sisterbride, née Blair Bogin. They are currently an adjunct professor at the USC School of Dramatic Arts. Core to all of their comedy is the desire to explore, and articulate their experience as a marginalized person specifically through the lens of living with faith in a Higher Picture. They believe that comedy can be a pure container for strong truths.
