Theater "Some useful advice for my Asian-American brothers and sisters—never go paintballing with a Vietnam veteran."

Posted by Brendan Kiley on Fri, Nov 28, 2008 at 4:58 PM

Ladies and gentlemen, meet Ali Wong. She's pretty fucking funny (even if she disallows embedding her best YouTube clip, which you can see here) and she's coming to Seattle on Dec 3 to perform at Hari Kondabolu's farewell performance before he moves back to New York:

Hari Kondabolu

When: Wed Dec 3–Thurs Dec 4 at 8 pm.

Price: $10–$12

Hari Kondabolu is a national comedy treasure (and a smartypants with a master's degree from the London School of Economics) who just happened to live in Seattle for awhile. But now he's leaving us for his NYC hometown—don't miss his farewell show, featuring a pack of Hari's comic-friends. From Seattle: Danielle Radford and Solomon Georgio. From San Francisco: the potty-mouthed Ali Wong and Chris Garcia. We expect greatness.

Here's a little more Ali Wong:

Only watched the embedded clip (cuz I'm too lazy to click on the link) but that just wasn't very funny. At all. Not even to my grandma, who loves a good Huge Cock/Tiny Twat joke.

Whatever. I'd pay $12 to just see Hari perform. He's amazing!! I wish the show was in Capitol Hill and not Pioneer Square though. Icky!!

Ali's clip wasn't horrible.

There's no racism in "funny or not funny."

She loses.

"Asian jokes"are never funny, you ass. Especially to those who've been abused.

There are only losers here.

"you weren't kissed by a rose!"

That was brills, actually. Plus, she's hot.

Boooooooo.

End result: I know way too much about her pussy and I'm definitely not laughing.

Posted by bearseatbeats on November 28, 2008 at 9:29 PM

oh, c'mon, her act could use some work, but... "instead of small it should say good listener" was a good joke.
