An
Indian, a Chinaman, a Korean, an Indonesian, a
Sri Lankan, a Malaysian, and an expatriate Filipino
all walk into a bar. The barman takes one look
at them and says, "Is this some kind of joke?"
Welcome to A
Thousand Apologies, a
comedy sketch show that addresses the diversity
of the Asian experience in contemporary New Zealand.
Through parody, satire and farce A
Thousand Apologies lampoons
stereotypes and situations that resonate with all
New Zealanders. From overachieving Chinese children
to overqualified Pakistani taxi drivers, the show
uses irony and subversion to deliver its laughs.
The time has come for Asians to stand up and be
laughed at. Or rather, laughed with. And if we offend
anyone in the process, we offer a thousand apologies.
