Sheng Wang

Asian American representation in movies and TV finally seems to be moving toward where it should be. ABC sitcom “Fresh Off the Boat,” the network’s first series focusing on an Asian family in more than 20 years, makes huge, hilarious strides toward prime-time equity. Until recently, comedian Sheng Wang served as the show’s executive story editor and staff writer. Now he returns to his standup roots, lampooning such topics as gym culture, cancer screenings and the absurdity of bachelor parties. Wang performs Thursday through Saturday, January 17 through 19, at the Vermont Comedy Club in Burlington.
