If you're in Los Angeles, and looking for some laughs this week, head on over to Little Tokyo for Comedy Zen, a showcase of some of the funniest and finest multicultural comedians working today -- Yoshi Obayashi, Kevin Camia, Kevin Munroe Brent Weinbach, and host Rajiv Satyal. The line-up comes fresh off appearances from Comedy Central, Showtime, and touring with Russell Peters.
Celebrate the Year of the Ox! It's this Thursday, January 29, 8:00pm at the Japanese National Museum in Little Tokyo. Buy tickets here. Come early, because all Comedy Zen guests will get admission to the rest of the museum (normally $9), which will be open from 5:00-8:00pm that evening. That's an evening of culture and comedy. For more information about the event, go here.
Want to go for free? For you, the good readers of this blog, I'm giving away five pairs of tickets to attend Comedy Zen. Just email me by the end of today (Monday, January 26) with your name, and answer this question: "Who is your favorite Asian American comedian?" Please be sure to include "COMEDY ZEN TICKETS" in the subject line. Five lucky winners will win a ticket for themselves and a friend for this Thursday's show in Los Angeles. Good luck.
