Yumi (Japanese commedienne)

[feet01]

I've came across her stand-up performances and I like it. A lot. A LOT!

She is from Cannada (Vancouver) but born in Japan (Tokyo).

She's petite, like usually all Japanese girls are - but her performance is straight forward, explicit and she makes good points - and no topic is taboo. For instance:

Last night, my boyfriend went down on me. I've never been with a woman before, but I was thinking the whole time: I'll bet I would do a better job than he does!

Critics say about her...

Her dead-panned, highly observant comic with a critical look at both Japanese and Canadian society is hilarious and relevant. She was praised for her keen ability to “give people a taste of what they want or expect, then turn the tables without warning” by VICE.

She told VICE, “Like in Japanese culture, especially for a female, they consider it not graceful to talk about sex in public, and I feel like subconsciously I’m trying to challenge that”, and she certainly is breaking down the stereotypes of submissive and subservient Japanese female and challenging the norms. While exploring tropes of her Japanese heritage, she talks openly about sex, womanhood and makes political remarks, which rarely appear in Japanese comedy (owarai) scene, especially for female comedians.
