Andrew Yang started doing stand-up seven years ago in Ann Arbor, Mich. He watched sets on Conan to get the feel of stand-up and decided to give it a try after his late-night packet wasn't selected. The host of the Blind Pig open mic, Yang founded the Tree Town Comedy Festival in March before deciding to let go of it. He's a husband and has a 3-year-old daughter, so he's busy enough.
