Improved Essays
Comedian Kevin Yee I have always been a big comedy fan. I love laughing and love it when people make me laugh. I have always been told that I am always smiling for no reason, so when I heard that a comedian was going to perform I knew I couldn’t miss it. On Tuesday night at George’s, comedian Kevin Yee performed, however I have never seen a comedian performance that was mainly based on songs. He did talk but mostly performed songs throughout the show. There was about a medium size crowd that day that showed up to watch the show. Kevin Yee was a funny person who really engaged with the crowd and also didn’t hold anything back when he performed. The first song he sang was about him being Homosexual.

He sang all types of songs, one about Starbuck, traffic, vegetarians, tourist, homosexuality, and other ones. All of Kevin Yee’s songs were funny that I can’t even choose which one is my favorite. Aside from his songs, he also talked about him being gay and Asian. He said that whenever he “came out of the closet” to his parents at eighteen years old, that his mom was really supportive of him. Then joked around and said that he wished that she wasn’t so supportive so he could go through the pain of being rejected and disowned by his parents. Yee also talked a little bit about his single life and past dating life. He mentioned that one day he was walking on the street and got hit on by another guy and then was told “ honey you are so cute… for an oriental” and then he replied “oh thank you, you are cute too, for a racist!” and then walked off. The way Yee said it made it sound funny. Aside from that he also about him living in Los Angeles and also about him visiting San Marcos. He said that before going to George’s, he was exploring the town. He said he went to go visit and explore downtown and then five minutes later he was done. Which is so funny because it is so true, I felt the same way whenever I moved over here too. I feel like they need more stuff over here, but then again maybe it is because half of them are bars and I am not old enough to drink and take advantage of them yet. Also, I kind of now
