About the show:
Welcome back to the Joy Market! Where we sell a lot more than food. Joy Market is an Asian American Comedy Show that dives into the lives of vendors that mixes improv with skills and talents of the Asian American community. With the home setting a Magical Market, players will use improv to transport you into the world of AAPI voices, stories, and relatable comedy. Come see a show that anyone can enjoy, but will undoubtedly be very, very Asian.
