Miler Lagos: The Merx Tree
September 2 – November 25
In addition to her stand-up success, Atsuko voiced the character of Yuri in SPIDER-VERSE: ACROSS THE UNIVERSE and starred in two films that premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival: ALL THAT WE LOVE, directed by Yen Tan, and GROUP THERAPY, directed by Neil Berkely and produced by Kevin Hart’s Hartbeat Productions. This June, she will make her Pixar debut by voicing the character of Ambassador Naos in the feature film ELIO, and in December she will appear alongside Jonah Hill and Keanu Reeves in the highly anticipated studio comedy OUTCOME (Apple+).
Atsuko’s infectious joy and fun-loving shenanigans have catapulted her to global stardom. A master of trending moments, she has created many viral videos, including her presentation at The Unforgettable Gala (100M+ views), her saving a couple from breaking up during her stand-up show, and her creation of the #DropChallenge, which brought Beyoncé’s song Partition back on the charts. Atsuko leaves a lasting impression wherever she goes, with fans often attending her shows in wigs mimicking her iconic bowl cut.
Named one of Variety’s “10 Comics to Watch for 2022”, Atsuko made her late-night stand-up debut on THE LATE LATE SHOW WITH JAMES CORDEN, with Vulture proclaiming she had “won late-night.” Other on-screen credits include HISTORY OF THE WORLD PT. II (Hulu) and ROOM 104 (HBO). Recently, Atsuko was featured on THIS AMERICAN LIFE with Ira Glass, where she shared her story of immigrating to the U.S. with her grandmother, who raised her, and future co-creator of the viral #DropChallenge, which has since garnered more than 10 million views. Atsuko’s unique upbringing has shaped her artfully offbeat and resilient persona– perfectly embodied by her signature blunt bangs and bowl cut.
Atsuko has collaborated with global brands such as Apple, Amazon Prime, Genesis, Kind Bar, Secret Deodorant, Kikori Whiskey, Priceline and more. With her upcoming special, she joins the “Hularious” comedy brand, alongside other renowned comics like Jim Gaffigan, Bill Burr, Roy Wood Jr., and Ilana Glazer.
