"... biting, incisive, devastating comedy ..."
-Ossie Davis (1999), actor, “Do the Right Thing,” “Get on the Bus”

Los Angeles- Los Angeles' own award-winning 18 MIGHTY MOUNTAIN WARRIORS Comedy Troupe is back in action at The Complex with the WORLD PREMIERE of "¡Asiático!"And this time they’re directed by renowned theater artist Herbert Siguenza (Culture Clash, A Weekend With Pablo Picasso,) who will bring his years of comedy experience and a Latino flavor to the Asian American comedy of the Warriors. The resulting concoction can only be called "¡Asiático!"or “all things Asian!” in Spanish.
"¡Asiático!"Features a collection of ALL NEW comedy material.
Since 1994, 18MMW have been known for not only finding the humor in Asian/Asian American issues and pop culture touchstones like filmmaker John Woo, but also everything else under the sun. In "¡Asiático!"you'll stifle guffaws as:

* European Vampires and a Chinese vampire experience a clash of cultures!
* 2 Asian Slackers go on an Inception style journey into the mind of a straight A student!
* Everything you wanted to know about Central Asia in song!
* and more!

"¡Asiático!"is written and performed by Ewan Chung, Michael Chih Ming Hornbuckle, Golda Inquito, Diana Toshiko, Greg Watanabe and Peter J. Wong and others. Additional material by Herbert Siguenza!
