Pui Fan Lee, Short, Fat, Ugly and Chinese, Fringe Club Theatre, January 17-18.
IT'S not easy being yellow on the outside, white on the inside, as a handful of plays at this year's Fringe Festival so well describe.
And one of the warmest, funniest descriptions comes from Pui Fan Lee with Short, Fat, Ugly and Chinese.
Growing up in Nottingham as the daughter of Hong Kong parents who moved to England and set up a Chinese takeaway, life was always ''different'' for Lee.
From the playground jibes, her ''funny'' name, eating different food and not with a knife and fork, Lee suffered for not being white.
With charm and energy, Lee tells how she grew up wanting so desperately to be white - to be like her friends at school who did not have to work behind the counter of their parents' shop.
Lee is caught between cultures, something that affects so many young Chinese people today, whether born in Hong Kong or abroad - they are neither truly Chinese nor white.
