About the Project
Have you ever found yourself cruising through life without drive? Have you ever looked in the rearview mirror and tried to reflect back on your history, but couldn’t find anything meaningful in your trunk? Do you ride passenger seat as an NPC or load around emotional baggage like your immigrant parents who take you on a guilt trip for not being a successful engineer yet? Are these puns working? If you answered yes or no to any or all of these questions, then come watch this. Through a series of comedic bits, poetry, games, improvisational conversational interactions, take a ride with me, Chai, as we ride into my daily routine, and perhaps, you too, may find validation in your own experiences.
Sutichai (Chai) Savathasuk, or Mr. Chai Tea, is an autistic 3rd-generation Thai-American spoken-word artist from LA. With a background in Mechanical Engineering, he blends comedy and poetry, captivating audiences with laughter and inspiration. Through mic spaces such as Sunday Jump, Day Poetry Lounge, Tuesday Night Cafe, and Palms Up Academy, Chai promotes empathy through his unique experiences as a nerd and adventurer, reminding us to find joy in our passions and seek connection. From mics to milk teas, hiking trails or board games, his enthusiasm for life shines through. You can find him at local boba shops and on Instagram: @mr.chai_tea.
