Jennifer Hsiung

Age: Not telling. But don’t I look great for someone in their 60’s?
Ethnicity: Canadian Chinese
Occupation: Comedian and actor
Years of experience: 4

Personal & professional philosophy:
Do something that scares you everyday. Success is when preparation meets opportunity. Be prepared. When we are with people we care about, turn off cell phones and be present.

Upcoming performances/ project:
Headlining RICE Asian Comedy Showcase on December 1 at The Rivoli, filming my recurring role on a new TV series and producing my Instagram/YouTube videos “Moms Offstring” – an alt. guitar tutorial for housewives.

What is the highlight of your work:
To make people laugh and show the world how funny, smart, entertaining, ridiculous, crazy and brilliant Asian women – and moms – are!

Future goals:
To be the first East Asian female to win an Academy award. To start a foundation that helps child sexual abuse victims pursue their creative passions, while also educating people about how to prevent such things from happening.
