The Red Room at Cap City: Donna Lee and Friends
Donna Lee blends her Thai and Irish heritage into a unique comedic voice, bringing audiences together through hilarious, heartfelt stories about family and cultural identity. Born in Thailand and raised in Texas, she proudly calls Austin home.
Donna burst onto the comedy scene in 2006 as a finalist on Nick@Nite’s Search for the Funniest Mom in America, hosted by Katey Sagal. For five years, she balanced the chaos of motherhood, comedy showcases and a thriving career in medical sales. In 2012, she stepped away from stand-up comedy to focus on raising her family and advancing professionally.
Now, with her sons grown and her husband and four wiener dogs (mostly) potty trained, Donna made her triumphant return to comedy full-time in May 2024. She's currently touring the nation’s top comedy clubs and is a proud member of the national stand-up group Moms Unhinged. She was also recently on Kill Tony (episodes 722 & 738) where, after her interviews and performances, she advanced with an exclusive invitation to the coveted “Secret Show” both times.
Donna is also the host and producer of two entertaining podcasts: The Armor Men’s Health Show with Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee and The Ryan Wayne Salon Podcast with Joseph Ryan and Donna Lee. She recently co-authored the book Building Wealth, Building Legacy with original Shark Tank judge Kevin Harrington, contributing a powerful chapter about how humor helped her survive—and thrive.
Over the years, Donna has shared the stage with some of her comedy heroes, including Leanne Morgan, Jo Koy, D.L. Hughley, Bill Engvall and many more.
Management reserves the right to prevent customers from entering the facility who they deem disruptive or dangerous to other patrons.
