 Sierra Madre Playhouse Lunar New Year Series Features
COMEDY: Cold Tofu
Asian American Comedy Troupe Delivers Short- and Long-Form Improv and Sketch Comedy
Cold Tofu brings laughs to the multi-week Sierra Madre Playhouse Lunar New Year celebration with a comedy show on Saturday, February 21, 2026, 8:30 pm. Founded in 1981 in Los Angeles by Marilyn Tokuda, Denice Kumagai, Judy Momii, and Irma Escamilla, Cold Tofu is the nation’s first – and longest-running – Asian American improv and comedy troupe. At a time when Asian Americans rarely appeared in comedy roles, let alone formed their own ensembles, these artists forged space for smart humor rooted in community, identity and cultural insight. The group’s work blends short-form and long-form improv, sketch comedy, and audience-interaction, often touching on Asian American experiences, crossover cultural humor, identity, heritage, and the absurdities of everyday life. Cold Tofu provides an alternative comedic narrative to mainstream stereotyping and is also a training ground for performers of color.
