Benefit Comedy Show for APIDC (Asians & Pacific Islanders with Disabilities of California)
Asians Pacific Islanders with Disabilities of CA.(APIDC) APIDC’s mission is to give a “voice and a face” to Asian and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) with mental and physical disabilities. APIDC's goal is to bridge the service and cultural barriers that Asian's and Pacific Islanders (APIs) with disabilities and their families may face. APIDC’s purpose is to act as the technical assistance network to interconnect disabilities organizations with API communities, API individuals with disabilities and their families.
Since 1998, APIDC has continued the on-going grassroots conversations and convening of APIs with disabilities. As disability issues are deeply hidden and barely acknowledged within the AAPI community, Asians & Pacific Islanders with Disabilities of CA (APIDC) was formed as a non-profit organization in 2008. Our mission is to “give a face and a voice” to AAPIs with disabilities. We seek to break down the stigma of disability within the AAPI community; provide technical assistance and employment research data of AAPIs with disabilities to organizations that seek to more effectively work with AAPIs with disabilities; work to bridge gaps on disability issues within our AAPI communities as well as slowly ease the discomfort of talking about disability issues, it is not charitable work, contrary its promoting disability rights as a proud member of our social justice community.

Steve Lee stand-up comedy is centered around his experiences in both continents dealing with racism and living with disabilities, and his content is remarkably original. Rather than being encumbered by stereotypes, Steve is vitalized by them. He blends stories and punchlines to convey his belief that we are all equal - equally ignorant, fallible, weird, and desiring freedom. For Steve, comedy is a way to get people - including himself - to laugh about our own shortcomings and problems in our daily lives.
Steve's Stand-Up Comedy has an expanding fan-base on two continents. He is a staple at comedy clubs in L.A., San Francisco, Hong Kong, Shanghai ,Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, and has opened for headliners like Tom Rhodes, Tom Cotter, Brad Williams and Brent Weinbach. He is also a winner of the Hong Kong New Cantonese Stand-Up Comedian, a runner-up of the Hong Kong International Comedy Competition, a finalist of the Hong Kong International Comedy Competition, invited to perform at the Burbank Comedy Festivals 'Best of the Fest' show, part of the San Francisco SketchFest and was on the World Series of Comedy Final Week in Las Vegas.
