Description

Get ready for laughter, tears, and rock'n'roll in rising star Charlene Kaye's hit solo show, Tiger Daughter or: How I Brought My Immigrant Mother Ultimate Shame (directed by Jennifer Monaco), about defying your Tiger Mom's dreams of you playing Carnegie Hall, and becoming her worst nightmare: a slutty shredder in all-girl Guns N' Roses cover band, Guns N' Hoses (Welcome To The Vajungle!), amongst other mishaps. This Fringe debut follows a sold-out US tour, and will be presented by comedy legend Margaret Cho at Joe's Pub, NYC this fall.

Laughed so hard I cried, then cried for good. After a good half hour of ugly sobbing, I felt an urge to call my mum. Brilliant.

What a gorgeous show- Kaye is a wildly talented performer and comedian who will draw you in with her magnetic energy as she brings you on a rollercoaster of emotions. Well-crafted, clever, poignant, and relatable.

One of the best shows I've seen at the Fringe, Charlene is a talented performer, both musically and as a story teller. A must see.

Hilarious and unpredictable!! I haven't ever been surprised the way I've been surprised at this show!! Charlene is so funny, the use of her amazing music in this show is genius and the energy of the show is kept high from the start and never dropped. Charlene and Lily are both natural born rock stars!

In a mixture of stand-up, musical performances, and personal exposition, Charlene lays bare her relationship with her mother to the audience through moments of humour and poignancy. It is clear that Charlene is an incredible performer, able to connect with the audience with ease.

It’s always refreshing to encounter stories about people of Asian descent who are not “rich and crazy.” Charlene’s work breaks these stereotypes, bringing “poor, normal, yet crazy Asians” to the forefront. It’s a powerful love story that resonates with all Asian mothers.
