Comedian Peng Dang is speaking out after fellow comic Tony Hinchcliffe referred to him with a racial slur and made offensive jokes about the Asian community during an Austin show last week in which they both performed.
Dang, a Chinese-American comedian, introduced Hinchcliffe, who has written for Comedy Central s Roast series, after his own set during a May 6 comedy show at the Vulcan Gas Company. When Hinchcliffe took the mic, he told the crowd to give it up one more time for Dang using a racial slur and then followed up with offensive stereotypes while feigning an Asian accent.

The video shows Dang introducing Hinchcliffe, who immediately calls Dang a “filthy little fucking chink and begins mocking Dang s set with a fake Asian accent.
Dang says he had been asked by the show s booker to introduce the surprise guest for the night and only learned it was Hinchcliffe a few minutes prior to introducing him to the audience. The two comics had shared a bill a year prior in Plano, but there was no bad blood between them, Dang says.
