Jimmy Shin's Wok of Shame

Jimmy Shin's refreshing comedy sidesteps politics completely and focuses on the human experience filtered through one good-natured, raunchy, and hilariously insightful view. He manages to provoke laughter about universal themes of identity, fear of the mafia, and the awkward necessity for a printer if pursuing a politically correct sex life. He also answers that burning question "What does UCLA really stand for?" In a comedy landscape which others have richly fertilized with the $*&% of contemporary politics it is truly refreshing to feel a true belly laugh for actual human themes. His comedy is an assortment of styles masterfully combined-- he has zany bits like the hilarious "if Bruce Lee were alive today" and also more poignant but relentlessly self-mocking bits like being taunted as a child and learning when it comes to some things, he just can't win. He does actually prove himself wrong though, because this comedy special is a true winner. Watch to the very end for a hilarious sketch directly after the show.

Loved this special! I've seen jimmy live a few times and he is always hilarious and relatable every time! This special captures jimmy and his outrageously funny life!! Can't wait to see what he comes out with next!

Give it a watch when you want a chuckle! Jimmy is a hilarious comic, nice mix of jokes.

I loved Jimmy Shin's comedy special. My friends and I were laughing the whole hour. He comes from the heart and I hope he starts winning more and more!!! (When you watch the special you will get it.) The production quality is pretty good as well. He represents Asians well without being stereotypical.

As Asian, I know how difficult to give up Law Degree to be a stand up comedian. It is almost mission impossible. But Jimmy Shin made it. The joke after joke in this comedy special. I can't stop laugh. The only reason I gave 8 of 10 is because there are "F" words, so I can't share in the class to my students.
