LeMent Tonight 061726 — Кассета

This Week Comedian Grace Yao appeared as a guest on LeMent Tonight, sharing her experiences growing up as a first-generation Canadian-American and attending a strict all-girls Catholic high school. She hilariously compared her time at St. Agnes Academy to a prison sentence, joking about the intense guilt instilled by the nuns and the "speakeasy" vibe of the confession booths. Yao also opened up about her relationship with her traditional Chinese mother, who initially tried to raise her as a boy because she wanted a son. She joked that she eventually managed to "buy off" her mother's persistent guilt and stalking by moving far away and purchasing her a white Lexus. Yao explained that entering stand-up comedy served as a form of therapy, allowing her to process her childhood trauma and get paid for it. During the interview, she participated in an improvisational game called "Ask Not," intentionally giving terrible advice on topics like buying rusted-out junkyard cars and sending parents to the Titanic with nothing but a flashlight and a rope. Looking to the future, Yao discussed her upcoming aspirations, which include auditioning for acting and commercial gigs, utilizing her skills in Mandarin and martial arts, and producing a new stand-up show centered around female and mother-focused comedy. https://www.instagram.com/graceyao_00/ https://youtube.com/live/7LeogHUCymw Bad AI Transcript Hey, everybody.
