Kristina Wong Tickets

Kristina Wong is a humorist, comedian, and performance artist who has been making audiences laugh for over a decade. With her irreverent and fearless approach to comedy, Kristina has become a voice for the marginalized, using her wit and humor to tackle tough social issues.

The daughter of Chinese-immigrant parents, Kristina grew up in San Francisco's Chinatown. Her background has given her a unique perspective on American culture, which she incorporates into her comedic routines. Her shows often focus on themes of race, gender, immigration, and the intersection of politics and media.

What makes Kristina's humor so special is her ability to weave together satire, stand-up comedy, and performance art seamlessly. In one show, she might perform a monologue about growing up Asian-American, followed by a musical number or a skit that satirizes current events. Her shows are interactive too, with Kristina often engaging the audience in her routine. She once shared how she found people on social media who were racists, and made them play Jenga with her promising not to be racist if they lose. And when it was all done, most of them did stop being racist.

Though she tackles tough issues through her comedy, Kristina's style is never preachy. She understands that laughter can be a powerful force for change, and her goal is to make people think while they're laughing. "I hope that people will come out of my shows with a deeper understanding of the world we live in," she says. "If I can make people laugh while doing that, even better."

In addition to her stage shows, Kristina has also ventured into other forms of media. She wrote and starred in a web series called "Radical Cram School," which features young girls learning about feminism and activism through funny sketches and songs. Her work has been recognized with numerous awards, such as the Creative Capital Award, MAP Fund, and the James T. Irvine Foundation fellowship.

As a female Asian-American comedian, Kristina has faced discrimination in the industry. But her irrepressible spirit has allowed her to keep going, to make people laugh, and to change hearts and minds through her humor. "Comedy is a way for me to speak truth to power," she says. "I'm not afraid to use my voice, even if it makes people uncomfortable."
