Jiang Zihao Stand-Up Comedy

Cantonese stand-up star Jiang Zihao brings a 120-minute, high-energy comedy special to Melbourne's Capitol Theatre this November, blending razor-sharp satire of Hong Kong entertainment and pop culture with keen everyday observations, for an immersive, laugh-out-loud celebration of modern Cantonese humour.

Jiang Zihao, one of the most dynamic new voices in Cantonese stand-up, is renowned for incisive, fearless comedy that skewers Hong Kong entertainment, pop culture, and the quirks of daily life. With pinpoint delivery and sharp cultural references, from Cantopop to cinema, he turns small details into big laughs.

His 120-minute original set at the Capitol Theatre offers an up-close, high-energy night that channels the spirit of classic Cantonese stand-up while giving it a contemporary edge. Performed primarily in Cantonese, the show promises rapid-fire riffs, cultural callbacks, and deeply relatable anecdotes, appealing to Cantonese speakers and fans of Hong Kong culture alike. This Melbourne stop of his Australian tour delivers an immersive, laugh-out-loud celebration of modern Cantonese humour.
