Good for a Laugh

A Person of Interest profile on the founding of No MSG Added, written by Astgik Khatchatryan with a photograph by Ralph Palumbo, published ahead of the team’s run at STAGEStheatre in Fullerton. Tsai discusses the gap in Orange County’s sketch comedy scene, why the group gives its writers no brief beyond writing whatever they want, and the move from performing into directing — which he puts down to being “more suited to looking at a scene from the outside”.

Astgik Khatchatryan, “Good for a Laugh”, Orange Coast, Vol. 45, Issue 09, September 2019, p. 136.
