Life is all about two things…goods and services. We all work hard to obtain the finer things in life, but even the finer things can have issues when you’re a minority. During a recent appearance on Don’t Tell Comedy, comedian Irene Tu describes making complex purchases while living ethnically in the big city.
Irene Tu is a stand-up comedian, actor, and writer. In 2017, the San Francisco Chronicle singled her out as an “artist on the brink of fame,” on the heels of being named one of the “Bay Area’s 11 Best Stand Up Comedians” (SFist) and one of 20 “Women to Watch” (KQED).
She has performed at numerous festivals including SF Sketchfest, Comedy Central’s Clusterfest, RIOT LA, Bridgetown Comedy Festival, and Outside Lands.
Irene has opened for comedians such as Patton Oswalt, W. Kamau Bell, Brian Posehn, Taylor Tomlinson, Anthony Jeselnik, Gary Gulman, Judah Friedlander, Hari Kondabolu, and Aparna Nancherla. You can see her on season 2 of Take My Wife and on VICELAND’s Funny How?
Tu is currently the featuring act for Taylor Tomlinson on the Deal With It comedy tour. Tickets available now at ttcomedy.com
