Fumi Abe Performs Stand-Up

[@nope000]

It is nice to see late night give talented people a chance

[@AZOffRoadster]

You mean besides employing them?

[@ericminch]

@John Stephens So how do you explain why you watch it and comment obsessively? Oh, by the way, you probably mean "imply", not "infer"; it's you who is doing the inferring. Ignorant dolt.

[@tiararoxeanne1318]

This show is following the footsteps of other shows like Seth Meyers and Trevor Noah, which apparently popular among the viewers. Not an original move, but commendable nonetheless.

[@BruceHurley]

@John Stephens You're entitled to your opinion, but this show is uniniversally considered by comedians and pretty much everybody to have the best writers in the history of talk shows, so it seems that either you're the oddball or, more likely, just a troll who has to criticize others in order to pretend to be superior. If you don't like it, stop watching! And please... stop commenting.

[@EllRiver]

@John Stephens you have zero sense of humor.

[@puhuti]

Had me when he started chuckling at his own jokes. Too cute!

[@everwhat013]

that's what turned me off of him. i hate when they laugh at their own jokes.

[@kindlin]

@@everwhat013 There can be a time and a place, but idt this guy quite had that. I was laughing at some jokes more than many stand-ups I watch, so I give him that, but he also had some real *cringer* in there.

[@lisaeiisharonx4527]

He is cute lol

[@Rockingruvin]

Great energy and rhythm… and self-deprecating humor always breaks through. Good formula.

[@dlaity107]

He's cool. Like a suitcase handle era Rhod Gilbert, except maybe a little gentler? I like it! More comics like both of them would be epic.

[@LisaLisa001]

That last joke was worth the walk. This guy is awesome. I wanna see a bunch of writers doing stand up and then we get to guess which show they write for.

My last drunk text was a rant about getting the wheelbarrow I lent to my neighbor 6 months ago back.

[@dayegilharno4988]

My last drunk text was to my daughter about how much I love Taylor Tomlinson's "Evil Leia" vibes. Didn't get a response from her in a week now, so I guess I am kinda proving the point... :(

[@papillonvu]

Love this dude’s self-deprecating humor!! 😆

[@conancat]

This guy is hilarious 😂 More Asian representation please!

[@sciencenate]

Dumb comment. If you know of Asian comedians, share the names and promote them. Don’t try to just tell dry bar to search out talent where you can identify with the performer. You should be like “this guy is hilarious! “ I don’t see how it connects to anything ethnic.

[@conancat]

​@@sciencenate dumb comment. If I already know the particular Asian comedians then they are the Asian representation already. Wanting to have more representation is a different demand from having existing representation being featured again. Fumi's jokes are self-evidently racialized, Fumi's life experiences living as an Asian person allows him to write these racialized jokes. What is it about his jokes that you cannot "see how it connect to anything ethnic"?

[@peachesandpoets]

The "insecure Asian guy" joke was hilarious

[@agnescleary2312]

That guy has NOTHING to be insecure about!

I can identify with the bit about the girl who only knows one Asian guy - I had a friend who didn’t want me to talk about my drumming. She told me that all the drummers she knew were Pagans. I was the only drummer she knew…

[@maytale.7184]

This guy is hilarious 🤣 great debut, he nailed it 🔥

[@MeganShanholtz]

I felt lightning bolts when you told your Megan joke. I'm Korean, adopted as an infant, raised by white people in Maryland. I was also one of a handful of Asians in my town (even less representation in my family) and I finally confessed to my crush for the previous 5 years in high school. He was the only Asian guy in my class and I had been crushing on him since I was 11. Then he straight up told me HE'S ONLY INTO WHITE GIRLS. That was it. The F*CK? I can still feel the heartcrush for my younger self. *sigh* Anyway, I just thought your joke was a hilarious anti-thetical version of my own. * PS: he's married to a nice white lady now >.

[@jeanyprasithpramote1184]

Seeing his podcast buddy Mike Nguyen sending positive energy in the audience warms my heart. Funny set. Represent!
