WE HEART CHARLYNE

Charlyne Yi, the adorable geek of the Sundance-winning film Paper Heart, which also stars that other adorable geek Michael Cera, is returning to the stage to do stand-up. Before taking her new show A Little Time With Charlyne Yi to the Edinburgh Festival, she’s going to try it out for the toughest crowd around—New Yorkers. Says Yi on the Upright Citizens Brigade website: “I am scared to perform in Edinburgh. I am scared to perform for you, too, haven’t performed in NY in years. Most of all, I am scared of who I’ve become.”
