Comedian Jenny Yang has returned from a nationwide tour. She traveled to 15 cities, using immigrant grocery stores as venues for comedy performances. This tour was a personal project, motivated by difficult experiences, including the loss of her father and challenges with fertility treatments.

A one-hour special is also planned, which will feature moments from the tour.
