Helen Hong is a New York City comedian. “I got the name Helen,” she explains on her website, “because my first-grade teacher couldn’t pronounce my Korean name (Hae-Seung — don’t try it, you’ll hurt yourself) and after repeated mangled attempts, my mother went ‘That’s okay, just call her Helen.’”
That’s Helen in the video above doing the first hilarious episode of “Mad as Helen.”
See more from her when she appears at 92YTribeca on January 27 at Comedy Below Canal™ with Christian Finnegan, musical guest Amy Miles and more.
