Asian Comedy Night

Contemporary Asian Theater Scene (CATS) and Association for Viet Arts (AVA) proudly present the 4th Annual Asian Comedy Night on Saturday, October 8th at 7:00pm and 9:30pm at the Montgomery Theater in downtown San Jose. The evening features three nationally acclaimed Asian American stand-up comics: Dat Phan, Tina Kim and Paul Varghese.

For the first time ever, this Pan-Asian comedian line-up will have Silicon Valley kick off its heels and rolling in laughter! With a wide range of cultures and perspectives, these comics are a laugh riot with their unique blend of stories and humor. Dat Phan, nationally recognized Vietnamese American comedian and winner of the 2003 Last Comic Standing TV show, has performed his own half-hour comedy special on Comedy Central and has appeared in the 2004 films: Cellular and Call Me Crazy. The San Diego Union-Tribune says,"With an act that focuses mainly on his Vietnamese heritage, including a wicked impression of his mother, Phan delivers the funny." Tina Kim, a Korean-American comedian based in LA, has successfully produced her own sold out TINA KIM LIVE shows in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston and internationally. Her humor mixes jokes about her life as a Korean-American and as a struggling young woman comic trying to find love and happiness. Paul Varghese, regarded as one of Dallas' hottest comedians, has performed on NBC's semifinals of the TV show Last Comic Standing. Paul has performed all over the country and delivers witty one-liners about Indian customs and traditions.
