The Art of Being Yay Experience!

{Also known as the TABY Experience}

Welcome to The Art of Being Yay Experience; based on Comedian Aidan Park’s bestselling book The Art of Being Yay: The OMG NSFW Memoir and Guide to Authentic Joy. Foreword by Margaret Cho.

Aidan takes his stand-up comedy act to the next level. Think self-empowerment with a comedic twist!
The show invites the audience into the juicy details of his personal life. It begins with his childhood in Korea, his HIV diagnosis at age 19 and ends with the loss of his husband Michael to cancer in 2018. Through his personal anecdotes he carefully applies empowering thought tools and principles for emotional wellness. Aidan shares specific techniques and guiding principles that promote a greater sense of personal self-efficacy and self-awareness.

Aidan has applied the coping skills gleaned from his over 15 years of empowerment studies to build a successful career, make strong friendships, and a loving relationship with his husband of five years. However, when Michael died suddenly of cancer, Aidan had to forge new coping techniques in order to deal with his grief.  Not satisfied with just being okay, he decided to actively pursue joy. Aidan’s passion is to help others pursue their own authentic joy, no matter what adversity they face.

Tales of love, death, and betrayal — oh my! Sit back and get ready for The Art of Being Yay Experience!

Over the years, Aidan has been grateful to have worked with many organizations including: Aids Healthcare Foundation, American Cancer Society, New Economics for Women (NEW), Soaring Spirits International and high schools and universities. He’s also done advocacy work via his LGBTQ brand comedy show, Rainbow Pop; a live show he created and produced for over four successful years at Laugh Factory Hollywood. Rainbow Pop was celebrated in the LGBTQ community and beyond.
