Joe Wong: Out of Place
*THIS SHOW HAS BEEN MOVED DOWN THE STREET TO RUCKUS CAFE while we deal with some technical issues
1707 Babcock Blvd, Pittsburgh, PA 15209
Comedian Joe Wong, the ultimate immigrant-next-door, tackles some burning questions in his new hour of standup comedy. Is he legal? How do immigrants navigate life in America, from friendship to marriage and fatherhood? And let's not forget the constitutional right to pursue happiness: money, power, and more importantly sex, drugs, and rock'n roll. Embarrassment haunts outsiders often, but Joe Wong discovers a way to handle any embarrassing situation: to make it even more embarrassing.

I Was On A Sitcom is a show about finding out who you are when your TV show ends and your "real life" begins. Because when you've played a character on TV for a decade, what exactly does it mean to "be yourself?” This show offers a rare intimate glimpse inside a popular sitcom actor’s real, raw life. You will walk away feeling like you’ve made a new friend — and learned more about birthing twins than you ever did before. It’s funny, it’s dark, vulnerable, and disarmingly casual — it’s like having a night out with Eden herself, telling you a story over drinks.
