Sheng Wang

If you need a laugh, look no further than Sheng Wang’s deadpan, matter-of-fact standup. The L.A.-based comedian, originally from Houston, Texas, has been featured on HBO’s “2 Dope Queens,” wrote for the ABC show “Fresh Off the Boat,” and has his own Netflix special, “Sweet and Juicy,” produced and directed by the hilarious Ali Wong. Expect bits that break down Asian American stereotypes, as well as observations on everyday life, delivered in Wang’s signature baritone.

Friday 3/28. $39.50–49.50, 7:30pm. The Paramount Theater, 215 E. Main St., Downtown Mall. theparamount.net
