Experience Asian American culture in a whole new light during a hilarious evening at our Asian Comedy Night! Our comics have cracked some of the toughest and most stoic folks in community in the name of charity. No one is immune to the power of laughter. And we'll use this powerful tool to build community and support a program that provides language access and education so that our members of our community can become homeowners!

"The evening also offered a reminder that laughter not only breaks down barriers, but also builds connections." - Boston Globe

WHY

The Comedy Night brings together some of the best Asian American comedic talents in the country to raise money to help low- and moderate-income families buy their first homes. Enjoy a memorable night out filled with hilarious Asian comedy, tasty food and that warm tingly feeling that you're helping families pursue their dream of affordable home ownership! We will present two shows to reach an audience of 200 business professionals and other community members. All proceeds will benefit the ACDC Comprehensive Home Owership Program (CHOP) for low income families. Some of these families lack adequate educational opportunities, sufficient income, and face challenges such as linguistic isolation and lack of job access. Your generous and kind participation enables ACDC to provide home ownership education and counseling to over 200 low- and moderate-income families and improve their quality of life.

Thanks to our presenter, Rick Jenkins of The Comedy Show and event founders, Paul Lee of Hong Kong Restaurant and Mike Tow of New Boston Financial!
