FAQs
Why a Virtual Comedy Festival?
Comedians lost many gigs during the covid-19 pandemic. CWA supports the stand up community by giving comedians opportunities to perform online and gain exposure to a wider audience; hence we feature comedians from all over the USA and other countries. We are raising awarness for coronavirus racism by spreading laughter. Support the Crazy Woke Asians Spread Laughter Fund! Our goal is to raise $20K or more so we can compensate every performer plus 15% of proceeds go to GOA Foundation and Feeding America. Warning: We value and protect our audience from Zoom trolls, anyone making racists comments will be prosecuted as committing a hate crime.
Why are there non-Asian comedians in this festival when it's called Crazy Woke Asians?
We stand in unity and all the non-Asian comedians in this festival support and celebrate the Asian American community.
How did you get the name Crazy Woke Asians?
We love the song "Redbone" by Childish Gambino and we were fed up with all the whitewashing in Hollywood. For our definition of what a Crazy Woke Asian is visit our website: www.crazywokeasians.com
