Ten years ago a trio of writers and performers came together to form the Funny Asian Women Kollective, or FAWK. They have each embarked on theater and film projects since then, but their comedy work continues. And their Extra Quality Super Show is coming up next week at the Fitzgerald Theater in downtown St. Paul.

Two of the co-founders of FAWK, May Lee-Yang and Saymoukda Vongsay join MPR News host Cathy Wurzer to talk about their work together and the upcoming program.
