Chris Grace: As Scarlett Johansson

Chris Grace, America’s 88th-most beloved Chinese actor, celebrates the life of his greatest inspiration and the most capable portrayer of Asian lives today: Scarlett Johansson.

Chris Grace: As Scarlett Johansson explores both Chris and Scarlett’s biographies through stand-up comedy, stage combat and the songs of Tom Waits. This show reimagines what is and isn’t possible… or appropriate… in the life of an artist.

This internationally loved comedy show, and Edinburgh Fringe hit, is finally coming to Philadelphia for two nights. And only at CSz Philadelphia!
