Six performances scheduled July 17–27.
Comedian Kiki Yeung will present a six-show limited engagement of her solo show Cantonese Mom at the Santa Monica Playhouse from July 17 through 27, ahead of the production’s international debut at the Hong Kong International Comedy Festival in September.
Presented by Crazy Woke Asians and Santa Monica Playhouse, Cantonese Mom draws on Yeung’s personal experiences as a mother, performer, and Hong Kong native. The show blends observational comedy, personal storytelling, and cultural commentary, with moments delivered in both English and Cantonese. Yeung, who has performed at major venues including the New York Comedy Festival, Laugh Factory, and The Comedy Store, is also the founder of the nationally touring comedy platform Crazy Woke Asians.

Guest performers throughout the run will include Jenn Sterger, who appears on July 17, 19, 24, and 26, as well as Kil Joi, T Barb, Steven Briggs, and Sean Fawaz.
