You have to get up, get out, and get something or waste your life watching opportunities for change pass you by. Comedians go to bed after a set every night wishing for different changes in the comedy industry. Most wake up only to be destined to do the same routine all over again, but then there are a courageous few that rise determined to make a difference and turn those wishes into monumental movements. Crazy Woke Asians, one of the best comedy touring experiences currently running globally is continuing to evolve into one of the biggest comedy brands of all time.
In the form of a new podcast series, Kiki Yeung, comedian and founder of Crazy Woke Asians chat with comedians, actors, artists, community leaders about the funny stuff and some deep sh*t.
While advancing through the comedy scene, Yeung began to notice an alarming problem while performing nightly. Multiple Asian comedians were not being booked on the same shows as it was an unwritten rule to not book more than one Asian on the same show, as it was assumed that all of them referred to the same material. Feeling comedically typecast, KiKi would use her creative request for change along with the pride of the Asian comedy community to form a comedy experience the Hollywood area had been needing for a very long time. Crazy Woke Asians would begin in May 2018 and instantly became one of the most sought-after comedy shows in Los Angeles. After selling out their very first event, the new brand of Asian comedy would quickly spread throughout California and Washington. The show would partner with NBC to form an all-Asian solo performance festival in Santa Monica, CA entitled “Crazy Woke Asians Audience Award” and became a regular attraction at The Comedy Store in Hollywood and The Ice House Comedy Club in Pasadena, CA.
In this week’s episodes, KiKi sits down and chats with comedians Shang, Jason Rogers, Danny Plom, Erick Esteban, Dante Chang, Mike Kim, Richard Cranor, & Ai Yoshihara.
