A Cure for Kung Flu: Killer Asian Artists Take the Stage

While Joe’s Pub is temporarily closed to public access, join us for Joe’s Pub Live! – a free series of streamed performances from artists’ HQ and our iconic stage in New York City. Facilitating social connectivity during this time of physical distancing, Joe’s Pub remains dedicated to supporting performing artists at every stage of their careers through sharing concerts with our audiences each week.

The artists recommend donating to Heart of Dinner, a wonderful organization that is fighting food insecurity and isolation experienced by Asian American elders–two longstanding community issues heightened by the pandemic.

Like all Joe’s Pub shows, all ages are welcome, but please be aware that performances may include adult language and topics.

Chat with Joe’s Pub, your fellow audience members, and the artists themselves via our YouTube channel during the premiere!

May is Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month and there is no better time to create an online hotspot of New York City’s most iconoclastic, irreverent, political, and deeply funky artists. This cultural explorAsian is like no other “Asian” show you will ever see–pure New York, pure genre-busting eye-popping art stars. Joe’s Pub is giving you a shot of music, comedy, poetry, and rebellious performance art to help #stopAsianhate and lift up the community during these wicked times. Hosted/curated by outrageous comedienne and killer MC Kate Siahaan-Rigg and featuring killer AAPI artists including legendary downtown gender fuck chanteuse Raven O, Slanty Eyed Mama, two spirited interdisciplinary artist and style maven Yozmit, ballroom diva, vogue artist, and member of the International House of Milan Dynasty Milan, and bad boy Chinatown gangsta rap triad Notorious MSG.

This program lasts about a half hour and is recommended to boost your immunity against racial bias, inaction, xenophobia and orientalism.
