CCC is proud to present Queer Feminist Open Mic, an evening of performance and Q&A with standup comedians exploring feminist and queer organizing in China. 41 Ross will host a rare gathering and joint-performance by 4 queer feminist comedian groups from across the country. The event will have a performance in Chinese, followed by a Q&A in English and Chinese that is open to the public.

During her residency at 41 Ross, queer artist and activist Xiangqi Chen will be convening comedians from the Bay Area, Washington DC, New York, and Seattle in a salon-style open mic, where they will each share a 5-minute set on everyday and activism. Seeing comedy as a form of advocacy, the program celebrates the role of humor in building resonance and resilience while uplifting feminist, queer, and diasporic voices. It also aims to empower Chinese-language comedians and listeners in a small, safe setting. Learn more.
