Sketch Comedy, ‘Azn’ Style: Assaulted Fish @ Fringe Festival

From believing in fortune cookies to stylin’ in full-face visor shades, Assaulted Fish draws upon today’s Asian-Canadian stereotypes and livens WISE Hall with plenty of laughs at the 2005 Vancouver Fringe Festival.
Woven intricately through a colourful blend of references from popular culture, the 60-minute performance entertains not only Asian Canadians, but their multi-national friends as well. By foregrounding common stereotypes and negotiating the gaps between different generations of Asian-Canadians, the script is not without substance behind the laughs; it sparkles with wit and demonstrates depth in understanding today’s Asian Canadian culture – hey, it even includes a lesson on “How to talk to Asians.” The cast is dynamic, engaging, and brimming with charisma and enthusiasm. Not only can they walk like Hello Kitty and talk like Jackie Chan, but they sing and dance too! Well written, well played, and as evident from the crowd’s cheers and laughs, very well received.
