Not Your Average Asian Girl
“My life was a tragedy, so I made a comedy about it” - Kira Yang
How did Kira go from a quiet & shy girl that never swears to… This?! 'NYAAG’ is a comedy cabaret about the hilarious transformation of an Asian performer leaping out of her comfort zones, learning how to shout, play bogan roles and do everything that contradicts her upbringing. Featuring some of the first ever music theatre graduates in South Australia, this diverse cast sing, dance, fight, and mingle with each other creating comedic conflicts and dramatic scenes. Join them on this wild journey where comfort zones are smashed & stereotypes destroyed. This is a party of pop, music theatre, comedy & a celebration of failures and challenges in life. It is raw, quirky, unexpected, and not your average Fringe show.
