ASian Comedy Fest 2024: May 7, 14 & 15th
Thank you for a fantastic #ACF2024!
Asian Comedy Fest returned for its 5th straight year bigger and better than ever. This year, we collaborated with some of our favorite Asian-run comedy shows and performers including Asian AF, Asianology, Banana Ketchup, Boba Gays and more.
Proceeds from this year’s Asian Comedy Fest will be donated our charity partner, Welcome to Chinatown 501(c)(3) and thanks to our audience, supporters, performers and volunteers, we were able to raise $8000 for #ACF2024!
The entire #ACF2024 took place at the brand new East Village social club, Asian-owned Sugar Mouse at 47 3rd ave. New York, NY 10003, with every single show completely sold-out to packed audiences! Each show also featured a raffle, where audience members had a chance to win a Founders’ Gift bag, and one of three gift cards each worth $100 to an NYC Asian-owned restaurant, sponsored by OpenTable. Check out all of our product sponsors here.
