About this event

  • 1 hour 30 minutes

East of California West of New York is a stand-up show that features Asian American comedians in the midwest. Unlike New York or Los Angeles, Chicago is never thought of as a place where we live, work, fall in love, and go to children’s museums. The aim of this show is to highlight Asian American comedians and their experiences in the midwest to show our presence here, and show those of us on the coasts that you don’t need to be near salty water to be funny.

Special accommodations can be made for larger parties. Please email thelincolnlodge@gmail.com with information about your party size and any specific requirements.

REFUND POLICY: Please note that refunds are only available by request up to 24 hours before the event start date. Requests for refunds after that will be declined but a credit note will be issued for future shows (via email.) Thanks.

Organized by

Known primarily for the nation’s longest running independent comedy show (The Lincoln Lodge) we also produce special events, help others organizations to raise money with comedy events and offer classes (Feminine Comique and Stand-Up Seminary) to encourage more community participation in stand-up comedy. We have been very successful at nurturing local talent and can point to a long line of alumni like Hannibal Burress, Kyle Kinane, T.J. Miller, Pete Holmes and Cameron Esposito who all got their start at The Lodge. Our reputation for professionalism, talent and integrity means organizations such as Just for Laughs and Comedy Central have invited us to collaborate with them.
