Stand up comedian Cathy Zhao talks with Jo Tomalin about her latest show playing at the 2024 San Francisco Fringe festival in August.
“I Wish I’d Said That: A Standup Comedy with Hecklers Presented by the Family of Chaos,comedy by Cathy Zhao, Frank Zhao, and Fiona Zhang, Laugh It Out Hub, San Francisco, CA. Standup comedian Cathy Zhao, with her Chaos Family visiting from China, presents you a once-in-your-life Heckler comedy show. Cathy will navigate through a series of anecdotes and reflections, addressing topics she has always wanted to discuss with her parents but never quite found the right moment. From career choices, dating choices, to cultural differences, nothing is off-limits as they bravely tackle the challenges of communication within a family. Through laughter, playful banter, and plenty of arguments in English, Chinglish, Chinese Mandarin, and Dalian dialect, the audience witnesses the universal struggles of familial relationships and the enduring bond between parents and child. WARNINGS: Do not come here with your parents. It’s too real.”
