Asian American Women and Comedy
June 22, 2011 – 9:15am -10:45am / Category: Artistic Practice
Fearless, Female, and Damn Good Fart Jokes The model Asian American woman is often expected to be exotic, sexy, demure, or shy. But what about flat-out funny? This session will feature a panel of Asian American female comedy writers and performers who will talk about their experiences in creating humor on all levels, from intellectual wit to fart jokes, and how race and sex do (or don’t) come into play. We invite comedy writers and performers of all levels to participate in a rousing discussion on what it means to Asian American, female, and not afraid to be the first to have a good laugh at herself.
