Asian AF

The Hit Asian American comedy variety show

 
 

ASIAN AF (Asian As F***) is the premier comedy variety show in Los Angeles and New York, spotlighting both upcoming and established Asian American actors, stand-up comedians, improvisers, sketch performers, musicians, storytellers, and more. The show has been featured on several news sites such as The New York Times, LA Times, NBC News, ABC News, Vulture, SoCal Public Radio (KPCC), and more. Asian AF has been the headlining act for several comedy festivals, including SF Sketchfest, Clusterfest (SF), The Del Close Marathon (NYC), Austin Sketchfest, Baltimore Comedy Festival, SteelStacks Improv Comedy Festival (PA), 2nd Best Fest (Richmond, VA), and the District Improv Festival (Washington, D.C). Asian AF was selected as part of the 2023-2024 Comedy Season at The John F. Kennedy Center at the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.

In 2024, Asian AF launched DRAGONS AF: a limited-run Dungeons & Dragons podcast series in partnership with the Earwolf Podcast Network.
