喜剧演员Jenny Yang发起了一场名为"The Good Egg Immigrant Grocery Store Standup Comedy Tour"的全国巡演，在移民社区的文化杂货店举办喜剧表演。[1]这项创意活动从最初计划的五场演出扩展至近20场，将于2025年6月5日从洛杉矶开始，至9月26日在洛杉矶结束。[1]巡演涵盖洛杉矶、明尼阿波利斯、凤凰城、纽约和旧金山等多个城市。[1]
Yang是来自台湾的移民，同时也是演员和前劳工组织者。[1]她表示："人们从事喜剧表演的原因各不相同。我认为我的喜剧是我价值观的延伸，我相信向上出击，而非向下。"[1]这场巡演与亚洲法律联盟合作进行，根据当地组织的推荐来选择演出地点和受助的非营利组织，旨在支持移民社区。[1]
Comedian Jenny Yang has launched a nationwide comedy tour designed to support immigrant communities and their local businesses.[1] The initiative, titled "The Good Egg Immigrant Grocery Store Standup Comedy Tour," features stand-up performances held in ethnic grocery stores across major American cities.[1] Beginning June 5, 2025, in Los Angeles and concluding September 26, 2025, also in Los Angeles, the tour has expanded from an initial five shows to nearly 20 performances.[1] The tour will visit Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Phoenix, New York, and San Francisco, among other locations.[1]
Yang, an immigrant comedian and actor originally from Taiwan who previously worked as a labor organizer, partners with the Asian Law Caucus to select performance venues and identify local nonprofits to benefit from ticket proceeds.[1] Reflecting on her approach to comedy, Yang stated: "People come into this art form as a stand-up comedian for different reasons. I am of the mind that my stand-up comedy is just an extension of my values and I believe in punching up, not down."[1] The tour represents an effort to leverage her comedic platform as a form of activism, particularly in response to immigration policies.[1]
