General Press Quotes for Kristina Wong

"Raucous and irreverent -- that's Wong in a nutshell."
-- THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

“Wong’s work is compelling because it is, by turns, confrontational and candid, acerbic and guileless, cartoonish and so razor sharp it draws blood. Plus she masterfully uses ambiguity to provoke thought.”
-- NY ARTS MAGAZINE

"Part sassy stand-up comedian...she is genuinely funny, has terrific stage timing and uses media with studied originality."
-- LOS ANGELES TIMES

"She's like Amy Tan on Crack!"
-- JENNIFER PHANG, SUNDANCE DIRECTOR OF “HALF-LIFE”

"Brutal but hilarious...a woman who takes life's absurdities very seriously."
-- EAST BAY EXPRESS

"Brilliantly erection-withering..."
-- IMDIVERSITY.COM

(Quotes for Kristina’s last show Wong Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest )

“One woman show keeps the laughs coming as it tackles issue of depression.”
--PHILADELPHIA METRO

“Wong’s one person show injects her trademark irreverent humor into a work of unblinking social commentary”
--SAN FRANCISCO BAY GUARDIAN

"Solo artist Kristina Wong unveils a string of imaginative surprises as she supposedly examines the high rates of depression and suicide among Asian American women. She darts around this grim subject with the kind of meta-theatrical wit that creates one of the funniest shows in town and engenders a level of audience participation that’s enthusiastic without becoming embarrassing. Then she ends with a sobering coda -- another kind of surprise after all the laughs. It’s a wild ride, and Wong’s a magnetically energizing artist. "
--DON SHIRLEY, LA CITY BEAT

"Kristina Wong is a fresh and bold new voice-- funny, fluid and wickedly satiric. I'm so relieved she is an Asian-American gal! A Lily Tomlin of one's own."
-- ALICE TUAN, AMERICAN THEATER MAGAZINE
