Comedian Ruben Paul

Comedian Ruben Paul Returns to Beijing with Kung Fu Komedy

Ruben Paul’s performance in Beijing in 2014 had me laughing until my stomach hurt. His recollections of childhood scenarios growing up in California trying to fit in were easy to relate to, but his stories about his Haitian parents still stick out in my mind as some of the funniest skits I’ve ever seen.

A fellow Californian, Ruben was born in one of the most diverse cities – Carson and lucky for all of us, he was given the gift of storytelling and the ability to relate to anyone no matter where you are from.

“I grew up in an all black neighborhood, went to an all Mexican high school, went to an all “white” church and shopped at a lot of Asian stores,” he quips. Being the youngest child of Immigrant Parents from Haiti, but the only one born in America, gives him a very interesting perspective on life. That upbringing is the foundation of Ruben’s universal appeal.”

The Bookworm Literary Festival 2014

Tickets on Sale Now! The Bookworm’s 8th Annual Literary Festival: March 7-21

A celebration of literature and ideas, The Bookworm’s Annual Literary Festival (BLF) is a two-week festival bringing together both Chinese and international writers, thinkers, and artists for more than 300 fantastic events across 8 cities in China for a 2-week program of book talks, panel discussions, writing workshops, stand-up comedy and performances.

Not only is this a rare opportunity to get introduced to a carefully selected collection of great books that you should start adding to your home library, this is also a chance to meet your favorite authors, engage in panel discussions and debates (diving into the latest issues facing the environment, urbanization, social media, healthcare, economics, civil society, arts, politics, international relations and regional security), sign up for some useful writing workshops (novel writing, pitching to the press, travel writing), and also a chance to get your kids excited about writing and reading with The Bookworm’s Children’s Program.  I’m most excited about their fringe events bringing music, comedy, improv and screenings to the festival dynamic. 

A program as diverse as ever, this festival’s eclectic range of events will certainly please people of all ages, backgrounds and interests.
