Five years ago, I was honored to headline the very first Hong Kong International Comedy Festival. Getting asked back for the sixth and largest iteration of the festival is simply amazing.
When I first did the HK festival, it was a week-long affair. It has now grown into four weeks of fun and madness involving stand-up, improv and the world-famous comedy competition in both English and Chinese language categories. At stake for the English finals is $35,000 in cash for first place! (It’s 35 grand in Hong Kong cash, which is still a big prize in good old American money!) All told, $60,000 in cash for the winners, plus gigs at some of America’s top comedy clubs: Gotham Comedy Club, Comic Strip Live and Acme Comedy Co.
The comedy scene is blowing up out there in Hong Kong, and I’m happy to be at ground zero. Want to join me? Here are the details of the shows I will be headlining:
