Asian comics joke it up in London

An-Ting Chang assembled an all-Asian lineup for a night of stand-up comedy in London over the weekend for one simple reason.

"I wanted to show that Chinese people are funny," said Chang, who is the director of performing arts organization Chinese Arts Now, also known as CAN.

"Lots of people have said to my face that Chinese people are not humorous," Chang said. "It's because there is a stereotype of us being serious and hardworking, and we are viewed as a minority group and not as individuals with different characters."
