asian american eyz’d: an immigrant comedy special
Directed by Felipe Figueroa (“Medium”), the special brings three Asian American immigrant comics together for a revealing one-night performance, each sharing their personal journey to America as immigrants. Ana Tuazon Parsons (Filipina) was smuggled from the Philippines by her biological Mom, becoming her hope for The American Dream. Nicky Endres (Korean, Transgender) was adopted by a white family and sent here with a Korean cookbook; Aidan Park (Korean, Queer) learned English by watching the movie “Sister Act”. He was diagnosed with HIV as a homeless teenager and fought his way to success.
