2 May
Summary
- Festival returns to NYC from May 5-7 for its seventh year.
- Proceeds benefit Immigration Social Services for Chinatown.
- Features over 70 Asian and Pacific Islander performers.
The seventh annual Asian Comedy Fest will take place in New York City from May 5 to May 7, featuring a diverse lineup of over 70 Asian and Pacific Islander comedians. Held at Sugar Mouse in Manhattan, the festival will present six shows over three nights, with performances scheduled at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. daily. Tickets are available for $30 per show or $50 for a full-night pass.
The festival's proceeds are dedicated to supporting Immigration Social Services, a nonprofit organization that has served immigrant families in Manhattan's Chinatown and Lower East Side for more than five decades. This funding is crucial for supporting low-income students in afterschool programs and enhancing the Older Adults Exercise Program.
This year's programming includes a wide array of comedic formats, such as stand-up, improv, puppetry, and musical comedy, drawing talent from across the country. Organizers emphasized the goal of uplifting new talent, celebrating the Asian American community, and contributing to a vital cause.
