About this show
Welcome to the unhinged, razor-sharp, fluorescent universe of Charlene Kaye: guitar god, internet legend and 'breakout comedy star' (Rolling Stone). This Fringe, she will debut her brand-new show: Diversity Shredder! A madcap tour of Charlene's experience as an Asian woman guitar shredder – from trolling men in Guitar Center, to standing behind white pop stars just to get that bag, to starting endless all-girl cover bands like Guns N' Hoses and Labiahead. Being an Asian female guitar shredder is fun if you're a menace.

Musical comedy stand up Charlene Kaye is stuck always having to accept shredding (being a boss on the electric guitar) behind a ‘dumb little white boy’ and she’s tired of it.
— to do list (5 out of 5 stars)
The parody musician ably tackles the music industry’s hypocrisies and acts out hilarious impressions
