Wow! I just discovered Atsuko. What a great talent. She has channeled her energy to be creative and gifted from her circumstances growing up. That's the beauty of life. ❤
Love Atsuko’s comedy/sense of humor so much. Really didn’t know anything about her - just that her HBO special made me laugh so hard. This interview is very revealing. On stage I noticed a great sadness that would flicker across the lower part of her face and then disappear as quickly as it came and this explains it. Hugs to Atsuko & her mom & grandma.
I agree! I became a mental health worker myself. That helped me understand the difficulties of my parents. And I have therapy for my own sadness and accepting the past. And for me it's important to feel more comfortable in social contacts. I hope you start to feel better❤
I think she is one of the more important and brilliant comedians right now and for years to come. If you haven’t watched her stand-up and her special on HBO/MAX you should. ♥️✌🏼🦋👑

Atsuko is funny, smart, and original - also honest about what most can’t talk about because familial mental illness is so isolating.

Holy cow, she really understands everything. I guess that clarity makes her a great comic.
That general sadness and grief never completely goes away, and I really wish it would.

I completely relate to her description of the sadness of worrying about her family. ❤
