Meet Vivian Wang (vdonowang), the creator of bellylaughsfestival and this week's Renegade! Our #Renegades editorial series spotlights Asian Pacific leaders and creatives who are carving their own paths and defying stereotypes along the way. 🎤🍜 Held at L.A. Live in downtown Los Angeles on July 12–13, 2025, the Belly Laughs Comedy Festival was a first‑of‑its‑kind comedy and food extravaganza spotlighting Asian American and Pacific Islander culture. Over 30 AAPI comedians—including headliners Hasan Minhaj, Kumail Nanjiani, Margaret Cho, Joel Kim Booster, and Asif Ali—alongside more than 20 immigrant‑owned Asian restaurants, the event fused stand‑up sets with Asian night‑market‑style cuisine.
