Tomboy Tirade #44: THE ASIAN INSURGENTS

When the Tomboy Tarts, Persis and Raven from the 'Chindian' faction bump into Asian funny gals, LA comics, Jenny Yang and Atsuko Okatsuka from the Disoriented faction in the dystopian city of Chicago, an insurgence of simulated proportions takes place in this new 'Fresh off the Boat' episode of Tomboy Tirade that takes you into the world of Veronica Roth's Divergent series as we talk everything Asian American comedy!"

The Asian Insurgents are coming as the Divergent sequel 'Insurgent', based off on the popular Veronica Roth books, hits theatres this week!

The Tomboy Tarts, Raven and Persis once again, find themselves on the run. This time they are factionless, fleeing out of dystopian Chicago on a train.

They bump into the Disoriented Comedy faction members, Jenny Yang and Atsuko Okatsuka, who are also on the run and looking to escape a city at war.

Jenny and Atsuko share their story on how Disoriented Comedy came about and how they forged a pretty cool comedic partnership and their upcoming nation-wide tour with the rest of the Disoriented troopers.

Then we talk about the Asian American comedy revolution in the USA – why Fresh off the Boat, an autobiographical new comedy series based loosely off of chef Eddie Huang’s life, has changed the game and reaction sentiments to the show.

Then it’s time to take Jenny Yang’s best-loved Buzzfeed video series on YouTube ‘Ask an Asian’ and place our guests on the spot (with spicy sauce of course). Watch the video below!

Nobody wins of course except the newly formed Asian Insurgents as Jenny, Atsuko, Raven and Persis take a final stab at escaping. Will they succeed? You’ll just have to listen to find out
