She’s an amazing parent who swears to never know what she’s doing by day and one of the fast-rising comedians in the country by night. Stylish, hilarious, and completely unpredictable, Jiaoying Summers finds time to talk comedy, motherhood and everything in between with her funniest friends as part of her weekly podcast entitled Tiger Milf w/ Jiaoying Summers.
A comedy career spanning less than three years, Jiaoying Summers has not only been the busiest comedian of the pandemic era but she’s also been one of the most successful businesswomen in comedy entertainment. One of the hottest up-and-coming Asian American females on the comedy scene, Jiaoying is one of the most popular comedians on TikTok with more than 1 million followers, 21.6 million likes and over 300 million views.
Summers is the owner of The Hollywood Comedy Club in Los Angeles, California and inducted into the Asian Hall of Fame.
Jiaoying is considered the trailblazer in building up the Hollywood underground comedy scene. She performs 10+ shows a week headlining regularly at The Hollywood Improv and The Laugh Factory and produces 8 shows weekly across her clubs in LA and Pasadena. She is the founder of THC Tour, which brings in the best comics touring nationally. In 2022, it was announced that Summers is set to release her 30-min comedy special as part of Peacock TV’s first stand-up comedy series entitled Comedy InvAsian 2.0.
In this week’s episode titled Wet But Not Fluid, Summers is joined by comedians Ashley Hesseltine and Nicky Paris as they discuss comedy, sex lives of comedians, and just being plain wet.
Nicky Paris: Nicky Paris is a triple-threat force of nature whose outsize talent extends far beyond the stand-up stage. In the last two years alone, the Los Angeles-based comic has hit such milestones as becoming a mainstay at the legendary Laugh Factory and hosting his own monthly show at Soho House West Hollywood, all while making a name for himself as an in-demand red-carpet interviewer and hosting at culture-defining events like movie premieres, awards shows, and even Los Angeles Comic-Con. With his latest feats including earning a spot on the lineup for the Netflix Is A Joke Festival, Nicky continues to gain widespread recognition for his observational yet escapist humor and rare ability to build an undeniable intimacy with crowds from all walks of life. An electric performer who’s appeared on tens of thousands of stages since getting his start in New York City at just 17-years-old, he’s perfected the art of finding the funny in life’s wildest intricacies — an element he unfailingly backs with equal parts extraordinary showmanship, fearless commitment to being unapologetically himself, and an immediately magnetic appeal that defies all cultural and generational divides.
Hailed by HuffPost as a “Comic to Watch,” Nicky first began honing his lightning-quick wit and one-of-a-kind perspective as a kid on Staten Island. He soon immersed himself in the New York comedy scene and, at age 19, landed a gig as on-air talent for “The Wendy Williams Show,” emerging as one of the standout comedians in a man-on-the-street segment that became a regular feature. Based in L.A. since 2018, Nicky quickly forged his own distinct space in the Hollywood comedy and talk-show landscape, in addition to winning lavish praise from leading outlets like Entertainment Tonight, Forbes, The Los Angeles Times, and more. In early 2020, Nicky was selected to headline the famed Caroline’s on Broadway in his hometown of New York City, and promptly sold out the show. Having earned rave reviews for creating his own outrageous man-on-the-street videos, he’s also become one of the freshest new talents hosting a variety of high-profile events and interviewing Hollywood’s brightest stars on the red carpet.
No matter which corner of pop culture he’s inhabiting at any given moment, Nicky never fails to move forward with the guiding mission at heart of his work: harnessing humor to impart joy, create connection, and leave an unforgettably positive impact on the lives of others.
