Projekt Newspeak Sketch Comedy Show

If you aren't familiar with Projekt Newspeak, they are a burgeoning local production company aimed at encouraging independent projects and breaking Asian American stereotypes in the media.

Founded by Eddie Kim, the project has hosted many events, including the popular Newspeak SLAM!, a spoken word poetry competition which has featured HBO's Def Poetry veterans like SKIM and Dante Basco.

This Saturday the 1st, Projekt Newspeak presents the annual "Sketch Comedy Show" at El Portal Theater in North Hollywood, and it looks like it's gonna be good.

You can watch clips and get your tickets at the event's myspace or the project's myspace, which has more love.

At the very least you can show your support by adding them both.

Here's to the independents!
