Named one of Variety's Top Ten Comics to Watch and New York Magazine’s Vulture Comedians You Should Know, comedian Jenny Yang tours her unique blend of personal storytelling and social commentary through her standup comedy and hit monthly stage show SELF HELP ME, a competitive self-care comedy show. She has been featured at Just For Laughs Montreal, headlined at San Francisco Sketchfest, and has shared the stage with such legendary comedians as Maria Bamford and Margaret Cho.

As an actor, Jenny stars opposite Michelle Yeoh as XING in the Netflix action comedy-drama series, The Brothers Sun. She also voices Carissa, Beef’s love interest, on Fox's The Great North.

As a television writer, Jenny has sold original shows to Paramount+, Prime Video, 20th Television Animation, and penned scripts for Netflix’s The Brothers Sun, HBO Max’s “Gordita Chronicles,” Netflix’s Peabody-award winning animated show, City of Ghosts, two seasons of Fox’s “Last Man Standing'' and E!’s late-night talk show “Busy Tonight” with Busy Philipps. 

Her perspective as a food-obsessed, former labor organizer, and Asian American community activist working in comedy and entertainment is a sought-after voice in media projects covering the most pressing political and cultural issues of the day.

Taiwan-born and Southern California-raised, Jenny was honored by President Obama as a “White House Champion of Change” for her leadership in “Asian American and Pacific Islander Art and Storytelling." Jenny has lived in Taiwan, Japan and Chile, speaks Mandarin Chinese and Spanish, and can curse you out in Korean and Japanese.

Jenny is taking her hit show, Self Help Me: a competitive self-care comedy show, on tour!

SELF HELP ME is a competitive self-care comedy show written and hosted by comedian, writer and actor Jenny Yang. Each monthly show features comedians, celebrities and wellness experts ready to test their knowledge of the latest wellness trends and reveal their own self-care obsessions. Comedians such as Chelsea Handler, Atsuko Okatsuka, Nicole Byer, Joel Kim Booster, Ron Funches have all “competed” to be the Queen of Self Care.

It’s like if Lovett or Leave It and @ midnight made a baby that was obsessed with wellness and lymph node massages--but also cared about the cultures and origins of these splashy trends.

Self-care already felt competitive. We just made our anxieties into a show.

“What’s the point of self-care if you can’t win? Do you even charge your crystals, bro?” - JENNY YANG, HOST + LIFESTYLE DIRECTOR

We’ve sold out every monthly show since April 2023 at our home at The Dynasty Typewriter in Los Angeles. And we are excited to take the show on the road.
