Hi there!

I’m Yola Jean Lu

Comedian & Actress

Here’s the awkward part where I talk about myself & write in ​3rd person....

Yola Jean Lu is a comedian, actress and writer based out of ​Austin, Texas. She is one of the original co-founders of the ​all Asian American improv troupe, Y'all We Asian, and also ​one of the original founders of Disoriented Comedy, which ​was a mostly female stand up tour that gave a platform to ​other Asian American voices. Yola is also the 2022 winner ​of the Austin Chronicle's Best Actress award, and received ​honorable mention in the Chicago Women Film Fest for ​Best Actress for her role in her short film, Patsy. She’s ​currently working on her one woman show called “Help! My ​Vagina is Trying to Kill Me!” which is a comedic show about ​women’s health. She’ll be premiering it at the Edinburgh ​Fringe Festival this Summer. She has also created a web ​series that can be found on YouTube called "uncomfortable ​the series", which one of the episodes has garnered over 1.5 ​million views. She still doesn't understand why. You can ​catch Yola every Thursday performing with her all ​female/non-binary troupe, Garage, at the Fallout Theater, ​and also performing stand up around town.
