Meet Yoshee

Yoshee is a first generation immigrant, arriving at a young age in the West side of Philadelphia. His family moved to many parts of the US and eventually settled in Texas. As with most immigrant children, Yoshee spent a lot of time disappointing his parents before stumbling on his passion for marketing. He established himself as a marketing executive and helped transform some of the worlds largest brands, including Dell, Coca Cola, Johnson + Johnson, Accenture and many more. Along the way, he found his passion for humor in the form of improv, stand-up and sketch comedy. He is a traveling comedian who has shared the stage with George Wallace, TJ Miller, and Chris Tucker, to name a few. 

In 2024, Yoshee released his debut comedy album, “American African” through the Hot Breath Comedy Network available on Youtube.

 Yoshee So is a stand-up comedian who immigrated to the US from Nigeria when he was 5. He is known for his observational comedy that often draws from his experiences as an immigrant, a husband and a father. So’s comedy is not always family-friendly, but it is always funny.

So became expert at digital marketing and technology, working his way into some of Atlanta’s top Fortune 500 companies. But he’d always been the class clown, that guy with a quick retort, or painfully funny situational insight. Sometimes, when he and his wife would watch comedy shows together at home, he’d say he could do that. He could be funny like them, maybe even funnier.

Immigrants share their stories of why they came to the United States, what it was like to become citizens, and what being American means to them. Some of the immigrants say that being American means having freedom and opportunity, while others say it means being able to make a difference in the world.

For him, July 4th is a time to remember the struggle his parents endured to provide him and his siblings with opportunities they would not have had in Nigeria.
