Bernice Ye: Wuhan Clan Ain't Nuthin' Ta Duck Wit

Part comedy special, part concert, and full of surprises. Bernice Ye, dubbed “The Jackie Chan of Comedy” by The Stranger, brings Wuhan Clan Ain’t Nuthin’ ta Duck Wit to Portland’s Kickstand Comedy for one night only. Wu-Tang energy meets immigrant storytelling in a live show blending stand-up, original comedy rap, martial arts, audience interaction, and cinematic multimedia. It’s about identity, ambition, and building your own clan when the world doesn’t hand you one.

Born in Wuhan, China, Ye came to the U.S. with $1,000 and a computer science degree from Peking University. She built a career at Microsoft and Hulu, then walked away from tech for the comedy stage. Now an internationally touring comedian, comedy rapper, and taekwondo black belt, she turns that unlikely journey into an evening of laughter, music, and reinvention. It was the most unhinged sequence of decisions she’s ever made. It’s working. With 400K+ followers and more than 100 million views online, Ye has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, The Stranger, and Seattle Gay News. Her credits include the New York Comedy Festival, Bergamot Comedy Festival, and Best of the Fest honors at Burbank Comedy Festival, Laugh After Dark, and Nate Jackson’s Super Funny Comedy Festival.

Following previous appearances at The Siren Theater, Ye returns to Portland with the road-tested show that launched a 13-city national tour. Whether you’ve followed her online or are discovering her for the first time, you’re invited into the Wuhan Clan. Come for the comedy. Leave with a clan—and songs stuck in your head.

Through Jannings’s colossal performance, THE LAST LAUGH becomes more than the plight of a single doorman, but a mournful dramatization of the frustration and anguish of the universal working class.

Leave Your Troubles at The Door

Leave Your Troubles at the Door is a completely improvised stand-up comedy showcase where the audience's problems help shape the jokes on stage. Audience members anonymously write down their problems/troubles on pieces of paper and put them in a box before the show, and then many of the best comedians from the Pacific Northwest and beyond take on those issues with their on-the-spot jokes. You can stay anonymous, too.

It's a rare comedy show where instead of the comedians joking about their problems, they joke about yours. You'll likely walk away from the show feeling slightly better about your problems. Just leave 'em at the door.

This month features Tyler Boeh (Dry Bar Comedy, Comics Unleashed), Andrea Menchaca (WW's Funniest 2026), Cam Strong (Roast Battle PDX), Tyson Gusman (Off The Cuff) and Katie Shook (Roast Battle PDX). Hosted by Chris Hudson.

With the cheers or jeers, the crowd collectively decide the joke's ultimate fate. If they love it, the comedian keeps it. If it bombs, it goes straight into a heavy-duty paper shredder spinning live on stage, gone from their set forever.

Masood Boomgaard

Helium Comedy Club1510 Southeast 9th Avenue

Self-help Singh is the alter ego of international comedian Masood Boomgaard. Self-help Singh, described as a comedic alternative life coach and de-motivational speaker, first appeared to Boomgaard in a vision after he fell and hit his head while rushing to the bathroom in an attempt to outrun the gastric consequences of bad lamb vindaloo. Boomgaard has since been sharing the "common sense wisdom" and demotivational teachings of Self-help Singh to millions of people on the internet. The Self-help Singh live show is a hilarious yet thought-provoking juxtaposition of stand-up comedy, parody and motivational speaking. During his decade-long full-time professional comedy career, Boomgaard has performed in New York, London, Dubai and during the lockdown, in his father's garage. He lives in South Africa with his cat...for now.
