Hello everyone, this is Jinx Monsoon and welcome to a brand new episode of Hi Jinx with me, Jinx Monsoon.

My guest today is Otsuko Otsuka. She is an actress, a comedian, and just a really delightful person.

We have a lovely conversation about how Otsuko chose comedy, how she ended up here,

what it was like coming to America with her mother and grandmother. We just have a delightful conversation

and I think it's gonna be a lot of fun to listen to. So cozy up wherever you are, get comfortable

because today's episode is just a delight. So hunker up, hunker down even, buckle up and sink

your teeth into some brand new. Hi Jinx.
