Her previous special THE INTRUDER (HBO), won a Gracie Award for “Best Comedy Special”, The New York Times called the “Best Debut Special of 2022” and Vulture and Variety named one of the “Best Specials of 2022.” Atsuko's unique style of comedy — blending joy with vulnerability and unforgettable storytelling — is captivating audiences worldwide.
Outside of her stand-up career, Atsuko is taking over Hollywood with roles in two films that debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival—ALL THAT WE LOVE directed by Yen Tan and GROUP THERAPY directed by Neil Berkely, produced by Kevin Hart’s Hartbeat Productions.
