ANN CHUN PRESENTS ASIAN DIVORCE

Ann Chun delivers her solo show, which follows an immigrant millennial with no filter, navigating her parents’ complicated marriage in Thailand while navigating her love life in America.

Right after getting dumped by a guy who just got back from a meditation retreat, Ann learns her parents are getting what she calls “Asian divorced” –– Her mom is moving out… to live next door to her dad. Disillusioned by her preconceived notions of love, Ann commits to anti-commitment. This is her “Ho-rigin” story. A raw and emotional coming-of-age story that grapples with toxic patterns trapped in ‘tradition,’ and what it means to rekindle a relationship with relationships. Imagine the dry-wittedness of Fleabag meets the raunchiness of Ali Wong.

Asian Divorce has garnered attention from prominent Hollywood figures. Contributions to the show’s crowdfunded campaign have included Golden Globe winner, Jason Reitman (Up in the Air, Juno) and Ronny Chieng.

Catch the final full showing of this show before it makes its international debut at Edinburgh Fringe this summer.
