Comedy Invasion
Comedy Invasion is a Canadian stand-up comedy television series, which premiered in 2022 on the Asian American Movies (AAM.tv) streaming platform,[1] and was later distributed to other television services via syndication. Created by Quentin Lee, the series features stand-up comedy performances by diverse comedians, including people of colour, LGBTQ comedians and people with disabilities.[2]
Comedians featured in the series include Peter Chao, Desirée Walsh, Karla Marx, Alisha Dhillon, Victoria Banner, Yumi Nagashima, DJ On and Keith Nahanee.[1]
The series is a spinoff of Comedy InvAsian, Lee's earlier American Hulu series which focused exclusively on Asian American comedians.[2] Lee created the series, and released it through AAM after unsuccessfully pitching it to Canadian broadcasters.[2]
Nahanee's episode, "Rez Style", received a Canadian Screen Award nomination for Best Comedy Special at the 12th Canadian Screen Awards in 2024.[3]
