Angel Yau

Writer, Actor, Stop-Motion Artist

Angel Yau is a comedian, storyteller, actor and filmmaker from Queens, New York. She started her comedy career (unintentionally) in high school when she ran for school council. From then she knew how to laugh at herself.

She founded Asian American Film Thing, an all AAPI film show where filmmakers are encouraged to show Work in Progress. She is also proudly in the all woman, all Asian- American musical comedy, AzN PoP!

Angel's stop-motions is where she explores her childhood in comedic but heartfelt ways dealing with solitude, rejection and alienation. "Curtain Call" is a recent animation that has gotten into a few festivals like "Animation Day in Cannes"," International Lighthouse Festival", "DC APA Film Festival" and more! (Don't worry it also got rejected from a bunch of festivals too.)

Angel just had a BBC short doc out on being a comedian dealing with mental health. Angel's dream is to have a special with her animations, comedy acts and her pug, Mush! Netflix? Hi!
