The Asian American sketch troupe No MSG Added was co-founded by Eric Vue and Shinshin Yuder Tsai four years ago.
came to the sketch group from a wide range of backgrounds and acting experience — the group includes a radiologist, a statistician, a librarian and a school psychologist.in Costa Mesa but, during a rehearsal this week, she said sketch comedy is a"different realm" for her.
"Improv, you work with somebody else and then if you guys build a rapport, you work together, it's very supportive. Sketch is just you and your brain and that's terrible," she said with a frozen smile.Choy joked that she joined the group because her dad wanted her to do something that relates to being Chinese. Does performing with an Asian American sketch comedy troupe count?"Uh, yeah.
Jhemon Lee, the radiologist, has been part of No MSG Added since its start in late 2018, after taking a free sketch comedy class in Santa Ana. Lee said he likes exercising both sides of his brain."My work is very technical, it's a lot of thinking and so forth. But then this is very the opposite," he said.
Lee also said he appreciates having a forum for Asian Americans to express themselves in O.C."There's a lot of acting and a lot of Asian American activity going on in L.A. County, but Orange County is just like a different place. … It almost might as well be a universe away," he said."So I think it's cool that we're able to bring this here.
A few months later, both nights of the group's Family Holiday Dinner show are sold out. It's great news for Nguyen and the nonprofit theater which, like many live art venues, is struggling to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. Nguyen plans to have the group back for additional shows at the Chance Theater in 2023."Next year is just going to be a really challenging year because we've got all the extra costs that have come back and the softening audiences.
