Born in South Korea, raised in Chicago and claimed by Brooklyn, Joel Kim Booster comes to Sacramento State this week. He jokes about dating and growing up gay and Asian in a white American household as he performs with local comics Ngaio Bealum and Daniel Humbarger. What might be most charming is his humility in the wake of appearing on Conan. It may be your only chance to see Joel Kim Booster free before he blows up on the comedy scene. 6000 J St., ihatejoelkim.com.
