Angel Yau is an Asian American stand-up comedian, storyteller, actor, and filmmaker from Queens, New York who openly talks about living with OCD, anxiety and bipolar disorder in her art.

We talk about growing up Asian-American, escaping competition through authenticity, detaching self-worth from money and career, finding the courage to perform, speaking up about mental health in her art and feedback from the AAPI community, and more.

She started her comedy career (unintentionally) in high school when she ran for school council. From then she knew how to laugh at herself.  She founded "Asian American Film Thing", an all AAPI film show where filmmakers are encouraged to show Work in Progress and "Shoes off, Mouth off" an all AAPI storytelling show. She is also proudly in the musical comedy group, AzN PoP!

Angel's festival-winning stop-motion animations are where she explores her childhood in comedic but heartfelt ways dealing with solitude, rejection, and alienation.

Angel was recently featured in a BBC short documentary "The Hurtful Truth I Never Told My Parents" on being a comedian dealing with mental health and the taboo surrounding mental health in her family.
