Need examples of 'mixed-heritage' comedians...

    Hi,

    I'm compiling a montage of 'mixed-heritage' stand up comedians, talking about their backgrounds and how it affects their life, ideally with a joke. Here are some examples I have

    Dan Nainan

    "My dad is from India and my mom is from Japan. I get my sushi from 7/11."



    Mal Hall

    "I'm half-black and half-Asian. If you're trying to figure that out, that's what this is."



    Little Esther

    "I'm half-Jewish, half-regular. I'm not technically a Jew because my Mom is Christian and sexually-attractive. But my Dad is so Jewish that I didn't go to Hebrew school because he didn't want to have to pay the dues you have to pay to belong to a Temple."



    If anyone has any more examples of comedians who do jokes like this, I'd really like to hear of them. It doesn't matter if they're obscure. If anything, it's better.

    Thanks

    I'm just watching some videos about Greg Giraldo at the moment. His father is Colombian I believe, and his mother is Spanish, but I don't think he used his heritage at all in his sets.
