We went and saw Charlyne Yi at El Cid last night. She is a one of kind performer and possibly the actual heir to the throne of Andy Kaufman. Her work is not so much straight forward comedy as it is a hybrid of performance art, music and stand-up. She had a doppelganger in the show, led the audience in chanting rituals and challenged a drunk audience member to punch her in the face on stage. (He did, but it didn't hurt because of magic.) The grand finale of the show involved a bear attack and ended up with the entire audience on the stage together.
The show was being taped by a large film crew for some documentary starring Charlyne. If anyone out there is working on this film, drop me a line I would LOVE to consider it for my film festival.
