Hi Becky, I greatly appreciate for your review. I’m truly sorry that my Mellisa’s jokes were distasteful to your audience and our service didn’t meet your expectation. I’ll work harder to improve future customers’ satisfaction. Sincerely,

Mai L.G. is a stand-up comedian and mom of four (six if you include her husband and her German Shepherd Dog). With English as her second language Mai provides audiences with a fresh perspective on American life, and a few on mental health topics. Mai took her first comedy class to cope with baby blue and went on to become the winner of the Mizner Park Comedy Festival in Boca Raton, FL in just her very first comedy club performance. From being a former news anchor at a Vietnamese American TV channel in Houston, TX to taking care of children with mental illness, to giving birth on I-95, Mai surely has many funny stories to share. From Southeast Asia to Southeast Florida, Mai’s unexpected style of comedy will hit you with hurricane force.
Mai moved to Florida and is homeschooling her children so her family can frequently take on outdoor adventures to many parts of the country. You can follow her on social media @mailgcomedy
