Comedy Invasion
Canadian stand-up comedy TV series
Comedy Invasion is a Canadian stand-up comedy television series, which premiered in 2022 on the Asian American Movies (AAM.tv) streaming platform, and was later distributed to other television services via syndication. Created by Quentin Lee, the series features stand-up comedy performances by diverse comedians, including people of colour, LGBTQ comedians and people with disabilities.
Comedians featured in the series include Peter Chao, Desirée Walsh, Karla Marx, Alisha Dhillon, Victoria Banner, Yumi Nagashima, DJ On and Keith Nahanee.
The series is a spinoff of Comedy InvAsian, Lee's earlier American Hulu series which focused exclusively on Asian American comedians. Lee created the series, and released it through AAM after unsuccessfully pitching it to Canadian broadcasters.
Nahanee's episode, "Rez Style", received a Canadian Screen Award nomination for Best Comedy Special at the 12th Canadian Screen Awards in 2024.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Comedy Invasion” as canadian stand-up comedy TV series. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as canadian stand-up comedy TV series. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 23, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q126126573. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2022 and 2024.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
