English is my second language. Actually it's very easy because most of the jokes i tell people, they laugh easily because they've never heard it before. Most of the jokes that natural born americans tell are recycled over and over so it's very boring and hard for people to laugh.

As a teenager I learned several foreign languages. One of the hardest things to really understand are jokes. I remember the first one I ever actually got in Spanish, and I was so thrilled with myself! I’m old now, and because I absolutely look like the Caucasian I obviously am, people are sometimes astounded when I start laughing at a joke they will say in a different language. When you judge a book by its cover, the joke is on you. I am so happy for this young woman!

She is "spot on" and very funny. However, her regular act is very blue (do people still say that? Her set uses very rough language & is very sexual.) Which is part of what makes her act kind of unexpectedly fun & inspirational. A white or black comedian using overtly sexual graphic language is kinda normal and unsurprising. But, coming from Aiko, it is kinda shocking, and subverts a lot of conventional "rules." A really good comedian is not only funny, but helps people see things in a new way. Aiko, I believe, does that.
