🎤🔥 This one’s going to be extra special. For the first time, Good Medicine brings its all-Native comedy showcase to Yerba Buena Gardens Festival! Co-founded by Oakland comedian Jackie Keliiaa, the nationally acclaimed show has sold-out venues across the country while cultivating joy and community and reshaping narratives about Native life. This special night brings some of the best and brightest Native comedians from across North America to the Gardens.
Featuring:
Jackie Keliiaa – an Oakland comedian, writer and actor featured on Comedy Central, Netflix’s Spirit Rangers and the producer and host of Good Medicine.
Ernie Tsosie – a Navajo comedian and actor known for Dark Winds, Rez Ball and hard-hitting laughs with a positive message.
Gigi Modrich – a Jicarilla Apache comedian and writer whose sharp, sarcastically optimistic comedy has appeared everywhere from The Comedy Store to The Onion.
Dash Turner – a Yurok comedian and TV writer behind Solar Opposites, Krapopolis and Rutherford Falls.
Come early for pre-show music from DJ Interval, food from Wahpepah’s Kitchen and Native artists throughout the Gardens. Picnics encouraged.

I am so excited to share that I am part of The Culture Keepers, a collaboration of artists, cultural workers and storytellers from across the Bay!
I am honored to be featured alongside 20 other amazingly talented artists doing big things and keeping the Bay on the map. Culture is the thread that weaves together our communities and our histories. May we weave a tapestry of love, care and strength.
Huge shout out to all the Culture Keepers. Please visit the website (link in bio), read their stories, support their work. Big, big shout out to Vanessa Camarena-Arredondo, Weyland Southon, Pendarvis Harshaw (@ogpenn ), and Jean Melesaine. You did such an amazing job capturing my image, my story and holding space and care ❤️
And a big thank you to my dad for always supporting me. Weyland interviewed us at the old Hill Top Indian bar in Oakland. Well, the location of the infamous Hill Top bar, anyway. Dad told a bunch of stories!
I am very blessed to be an artist and to have so much support from my family, my friends and my community. I am forever greatful for the people who continue to lift me up ❤️

Holy shit, what a year! It’s a crazy world but there were def some bright spots. 2025 was all about growth and skilling up 🌱🚀
The highlight was co-creating and ep’ing a whole ass pilot for NBC. One of my fave moments of 2025 was watching @raedratch read a joke I wrote 🥲💖 I have many more amazing stories I’ll share with you over a drink sometime.
I turned 40, took acting classes, bought my first new car, got a raise, started a new project and began playing fornite (send v bucks).
Of course, the hardest part was our pilot getting passed on. Been processing a lotta grief on that front but failure is all part of the process. What a gift it happened in the first place and I am so grateful for everything I’ve learned along the way. 2026 is about to pop off in the best way! ✨
Not pictured are so many big moments with our family; the festa, my nieces’ coming out into the pow wow arena, and many fun times with friends and loved ones 💖 This year has been a lot of ups and downs and I am grateful for my friends and family who’ve helped me get thought it 💖
Wishing you all a very bright new year! ✨
