Sunday, August 23 marks the Bookworm return of headliner Paul Ogata, the award-winning Japanese-American stand-up comedian and actor known for his edgy, often-improvised shows. His quick, animated delivery of clever material led him to victory in the prestigious 32nd Annual San Francisco International Comedy Competition, and he’s been going strong ever since.

You may also know Ogata from TV: the Showtime presentation of Pacific Rim Comedy, currently airing in rotation, or Comedy Central’s Live at Gotham and the syndicated Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen.

Ogata also co-starred in the underground hit motion picture Porndogs with adult-movie legends Ron Jeremy, Tera Patrick and the late Marilyn Chambers. He has also appeared in Damon Wayans’ film Behind the Smile, on CBS’s The Late Late Show, as well as on TBS, NBC, and PBS.
