She wanted to entertain in cities with immigrant enclaves where she could give back. So Yang and her team chose grocery store stops and non-profits to donate to based on recommendations from local organisations.<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">The unorthodox tour has grown from five performances to nearly 20. It started on June 5 in Los Angeles, where Yang lives, and has taken her to Minneapolis, Phoenix and other US cities. After stops in New York and San Francisco, the tour will end on September 26 back in LA with Yang filming a performance for a proposed comedy special.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmp.com\/lifestyle\/entertainment\/article\/3363039\/rolling-aisles-jenny-yang-tours-us-grocery-stores-comedy-show?utm_source=rss_feed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stand-up comedians are used to tuning out the din of clinking glasses from two-drink minimums and patrons walking in and out during sets.
