Hey Dougie! Sorry it took me so long to respond! I’ve been more active on my jennyyang.tv blog so find me over there! I’ve retired this CreativLife podcast

What I have to say is that you are on the right track if you have even committed your studies to the art of comedy. It shows you have a real passion for it! I think there are the right times in our lives for us to reveal such things to our parents, depending on what our relationship is with them and just where we personally are in terms of our commitment to the comedy craft. I told my parents FINALLY because I felt like comedy was becoming such a big part of my life, it would feel like i wasn’t being honest with them if I didn’t at least let them KNOW I was doing it. We don’t have a very “chatty” relationship anyway so just informing them would have been adequate. But I was glad I did it because it just makes for me to feel like a more “whole” person if I ever had to refer to it in conversation.

What do you think about that? What are you afraid of if you had to tell your parents? Their reaction? Their disapproval? Would they disapprove so much that it would affect your life in a real and meaningful way? (eg. hurt your relationship with them, they’d “cut you off” financially etc.)

Hey Jenny, I have always wanted to perform standup comedy. It’s has been my dream since I saw Jerry Seinfeld perform when I was a child. However, I have been reluctant to start getting up on stage since I feel my parents would not approve of me doing so. However, Jenny Ive wanted to chase this dream for too long and I cant keep what Im passionate about in any longer. I have taken several comedy classes and I even for my senior seminar in college studied the art of the joke and why we laugh. I just wanted to know how you gathered up the courage to tell your parents you were serious about comedy? I have a unique sense of humor and I have been told my sense of humor is unlike anyone then they have ever met. I’m not saying that my sense of humor is something that will automatically capture audiences but I would like to find out. So if you have any suggestions for me that would great. THANKS

I’d love to listen to episode 7, but I can’t find your podcast in Itunes (it says it’s not available in the US store) and the other links don’t work. Is that episode unavailable or do you have new links to it? Thanks!

I’m so glad you got a good laugh, Dr. Lisa! I love that you are life coaching now. Sounds like we may be cut from the same cloth, hahahah. We need more life coaches and healers who have been healing themselves!

Never heard of Charles Wang. Thanks Rick for the tip! I think May Lee-Yang’s humor is spot on. Real tongue in cheek stuff with the porn star show. Hope you can catch it if you are in the Twin Cities area!

It is really interesting about her, I think she is right she cannot be porn star, I really wish to talk about Asian American personality his name is by Charles Wang . He also contributed for Asian American Culture. He founded Charles B. Wang center in New York for cultural activities.

Courteous of you, indeed. I was laughing out loud because it reminded me of one of my clients’ telling me about a conversation with his mom about taking acting classes. It did not go as smoothly as yours!

I found this site through your comedy one, and it’s reassuring to know that I’m not the only one with more than 3 websites representing “my work” these days.

I am a proud “Bad Asian Daughter”, pursuing the creative life after getting a Harvard degree, a medical degree, having been a partner in a VC firm, and having owned my own violin school for kids in Silicon Valley. Now I live by the ocean, play in an acoustic rock duo (http://chinesemelodrama.com), work at REI part-time, and do life coaching for fellow human beings in need of creative soul recovery.

LOVE what you’re doing and sharing in the world. Thank you!

Hi Tara!

Thanks for the question. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find the video with my nimble fingers. I know exactly the clips you would probably need. I think scouring for “illegal” copies of it on Youtube or other places may be the only option, though I do not advocate it. I’ve heard of people “grabbing” a copy for their own computer then splicing up the clip for themselves. A lot of steps. What may be easier to locate is the text of the dialogue/monologues that you are looking for.

I hope this helps! Thanks for the comment! Let me know if you have any luck!

Jenny

Hi Jenny,
I am a professional speaker and am preparing a talk for parents. The focus is embracing your child’s passion and the direction they want their life to go. I’ve been searching all over for the clip of M Chang with his mother as he explains his need to dance. It would be an amazing addition to the talk. Can you help me locate that clip? Any suggestions? Thanks so much and keep rockin.
