Not That Asian is a bombastic clown musical that uses comedy, video projection and music to playfully investigate and celebrate ESEA culture. Follow two clowns as they attempt to put on the most authentic East Asian production known to mankind. Featuring classic hit pop songs like “What, what are you?” and the well known comedy sketch routine “Karate me, Karate you,” plus the infamous game “Smack that cucumber!”. Expect Karaoke, kimonos, Kimbap and K-pop as we take you on an anime-style transformation journey to find out where we might all truly belong.
