Bay Area, represent! For my people in the South Bay, check out CATS - Contemporary Asian Theater Scene's 8th Annual Asian Comedy Night this Saturday, October 25 for two shows—at 7:00pm and 9:00pm—at Le Petit Trianon Theater in San Jose. Yes, friends. Asian Americans can be quite funny.
Headlining the show is Kevin Shea of the Kims of Comedy tour, who is freaking hilarious; the evening also features up-and-coming comics Hasan Minhaj, a former Mr. India California who won Wild 94.9 FM Comedy Jam's Best New Comic Competition, and Joe Nguyen, making a local mark with his unique blend of "Jewish-Vietnamese" humor.
Tickets are $20: general, $30: VIP seating, $40: on-stage seating. To purchase tickets, go to brownpapertickets.com or call 1-800-838-3006. You can also get a discount on groups of 10 or more. For more information about the event, go here.
