In Last Laugh, MStarsNews talks to our favorite comedians or funny people about some of the last experiences they've had over the years. For this installment, we welcome in comedian Aparna Nancherla.

Aparna Nancherla kicked off her comedy career in Washington, D.C., but now makes her home in New York City. Aside from her stand up, the comic is a writer, having most recently worked on FX's Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell. She made her late night debut on TBS' CONAN just last year and has been featured in the Huffington Post, Slate V and the Washington Post Magazine. She is also a regular performer at the Upright Citizen's Brigade Theater in both New York and Los Angeles. And now, Nancherla is making a stop at MStarsNews for the Last Laugh interview series.

So, Aparna Nancherla, who/what/where/when was the ...

MStarsNews: Last time you wore something you hated?
Aparna Nancherla: I often wear an expression where people have the tendency to ask, "Are you OK?" I can't help it, I have RGF: resting glitch face.

MS: Last person to see you naked?
AN: A person of the XY persuasion with whom I have an exclusive hand-holding deal.

MS: Last day job you had?
AN: A temp assignment wherein part of my responsibilities was occasionally badly driving a golf cart around a big network studio lot. My boss preferred that I drove it well, but you can't always get what you want.

MS: Last place you traveled to outside of the US?
AN: Melbourne, Australia. It's a wonderful place where the coffee runs like your nerves after you've had too much coffee. 

MS: Last guilty pleasure you discovered?
AN: Hitting snooze for a period of four hours or longer, but not consulting a doctor afterward.

MS: Last piece of advice another comedian gave you?
AN: Have fun out there! I have no idea what she was talking about.

MS: Last thing you regretted?
AN: My last answer. This answer. Probably my next answer. Having regrets.

MS: Last time you bombed onstage?
AN: Last week, but it feels like just yesterday! I try to bomb regularly to keep expectations at a reasonable minimum. 

MS: Last time you lost your cool?
AN: I was so late to the airport for a flight today that my plane was already boarding when I got in the airport security line, causing me to cut someone in the airport security line, but the universe won because I forgot my delicious homemade lunch in the TSA scanner for the garbage to munch on. What's the lesson here? Do everything better.

MS: Last piece of advice YOU gave someone?
AN: Do everything better. To myself. Are you even reading this?

MS: Last time you were the butt of the joke?
AN: I went on a family vacation to the beach this past weekend, so I guess there were at least 14 anecdotes shared during which I was said butt. 

MS: Last time you got into a fight?
AN: I am in a very intense mindfight with a baby right now at this airport gate. The baby is winning, judging by the strength of its cries. 

MS: Last time you wished you were someone else?
AN: Pretty much before every comedy show. Sometimes after too!

MS: Last thing you had to apologize for?
AN: I tend to apologize a lot, unsolicited. So I'm not sure I had to, but I just apologized to a friend for being a tiny bit nosy in asking her about her life. Do I understand how friendship works? Apparently not.

MS: Last time you laughed really hard?
AN: Watching this cartoon creature brush its teeth and dance. I may never laugh that hard again, and I'm OK with that.

MS: Last time you felt uncomfortable?
AN: Does it ever stop? News to me!
