Yehee Son: Life is Writing Her Best Jokes


I recently had the incredible opportunity to sit down and chat with Yehee Son, a rising star in Houston's stand-up comedy scene who's quickly making a name for herself with her sharp wit, fearless honesty, and unapologetic presence on stage.


In just seven months of performing, Yehee has already graced several notable stages, landed interviews, and built a growing following across social media. What makes her journey even more inspiring is the resilience she's shown throughout her life — something that shines through in every joke she delivers.


Originally from South Korea, Yehee moved to America with her family seeking better education and life opportunities that were limited back home due to her diagnosis of cerebral palsy. Arriving as an undocumented immigrant, she faced immense barriers, including uncertainty about her future, access to higher education, and basic stability. Yet through determination, advocacy, and seizing every opportunity, she navigated the long and challenging path to achieving full U.S. citizenship — a powerful testament to her grit and perseverance.


Her story is one of constant ups and downs, filled with challenges, growth, and hard-won victories that have given her a powerful voice — one she's now sharing with audiences who can't look away.



With multiple degrees, a background as a teacher (including teaching with cerebral palsy), experience in marketing, a past marriage, the independence of living alone, and even driving herself—Yehee's achievements are inspiring. She has conquered obstacles that would stop most people, all while maintaining her independence and sense of humor.

Her ability to achieve full independence while navigating everything life has thrown at her — from immigration hurdles to disability — is nothing short of astonishing. It's this lived experience that fuels her comedy — raw, relatable, and always delivered with a vibrant energy that keeps the room hooked.


Yehee's sense of humor is a perfect blend: informative, bold, and undeniably fun. Nothing is off-limits on her stage. She tackles topics head-on, drawing from her life in ways that make you laugh, think, and pay closer attention. Her commanding presence demands the spotlight — and she owns it every time.
