SF Bay Guardian Says The 18 Mighty Mountain Warriors are the Best
The San Francisco Bay Guardian, in their annual "Best of the Bay" series named yours truly, the "Best Sketch Comedy Warriors" for 2005.
FTFA:
'Admit it: You've always secretly wanted to know what Thanksgiving would look like if directed by Hong Kong action master John Woo. And it's no use pretending you don't fixate on what Yan Can Cook would look like if Bruce Lee took the reins ("Aieeee! You will learn to debone chicken with an economy of moves!"). Lucky for you, San Francisco sketch comedy troupe 18 Mighty Mountain Warriors is out pondering the exact same eternal questions. With nine members representing the spectrum of Asian nationalities, the group skewers stereotypes about Asians and Pacific Islanders even as it mines them for laughs. So if you ever wanted to know how to snap "Do you want to die, man?!" with the proper Chinatown street gang accent, head over to an 18MMW show -- the group has been sending audiences around the Bay Area into hysterics for more than a decade.'
