FAWK’s 2019 Super show artists included:

Nicole Ektnitphong, Monika Hetzler, Lynn Hu, Marina Kittaka, Naomi Ko, May Esperanza Losloso, Melissa Vang, Ntsuab Yang, and MAY LEE-YANG.

The “Super Show” was led and directed by FAWK Lead Artists Naomi Ko, Saymoukda Vongsay, and May Lee-Yang.

This Show was supported by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.

the clapback cabaret - 2018

Featuring some of the best Asian Pacific Islander Desi American female-identifying talent. 

this includes US (FAWK) as well as atSUKO OKATSUKA, KAT evasco, hye yun park, and sara ochs. 

It also featured some of the best non-APIDA comedic talent such as BLACKOUT IMPROV and WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH. 

The Clapback CaBaret Series is currently on hiatus.

From the Workshop to the Stage (October - December 2018) 

We develop new talent through monthly improv and comedy workshops that we are hosting in collaboration with Tim Hellendrung (Huge Improv Theater), Heather Meyer (Brave New Workshop) and John Gebretatose (Director of Inclusion, Huge Improv Theater). Participants of these workshops will have an opportunity to use their performance skills on the Cabaret stage and get compensated as well, helping to develop more diverse artists.

Anticipated Qualitative Outcomes and Goals:

1. Expose Twin Cities community to comedy by APIDA women and allies.

2. Disrupt stereotypes about APIDA women by featuring raw, uncensored comedy by APIDA women. 

3. Create a platform for APIDA women to perform and expose their work.
