Hong Kong-American comedian and actor Jimmy O. Yang visited our city for a short trip back in March and got a good deal of attention for his videos on food, experiences, as well as meetings with local stars Dayo Wong and Chow Yun-fat. Fans were in his comments clamouring for a Hong Kong leg on his tour, and O. Yang has now finally confirmed his first stand-up show in our city.
Has Jimmy O. Yang added another date to his Hong Kong show?
Yes, he has! Due to overwhelming demand that saw his Hong Kong show selling out before general public sales even got to open, O. Yang has decided to treat us to an additional night of his comedy show. Fans can now also see him on stage on Friday, June 13.
How much are tickets to Jimmy O. Yang’s comedy show in Hong Kong?
Tickets are priced at $380, $580, and $780, with sales for the general public opening at 10am on Thursday, May 15.
Are there pre-sales for Jimmy O. Yang’s show?
The initial rounds of pre-sales for HSBC and Klook all sold out in minutes, so you’ll have to try your luck in the pre-booking for O. Yang’s second show. This opens on Cityline at 2pm on May 13 – use the code ‘BIG’ to get access!
When and where will Jimmy O. Yang perform in Hong Kong?
The 37-year-old comedian is set to take the stage at the Hong Kong Coliseum on June 14, with the show starting at 8.15pm. The Hong Kong Coliseum only seats 12,500 people and we’re sure the one-night-only show will be in hot demand, so mark your calendars for ticket drops.
What’s going to be special about Jimmy O. Yang’s show in Hong Kong?
Jimmy O. Yang Live In Hong Kong marks O. Yang’s first-ever show in Asia – in fact, our city is the only Asian stop on his North America-centric tour as he moves on to London and Amsterdam afterwards. There’s a cultural connection here for him, as O. Yang was born in Hong Kong and grew up here until the age of 13, before moving with his family to the US.
Fans who follow him on social media will know that the multicultural funnyman can speak Cantonese, Shanghainese, and Mandarin Chinese, but does his professional comedy in his most fluent language, English. However, O. Yang has promised that for his homecoming Hong Kong show, he will be performing some of his bits in Cantonese, and we’re looking forward to relating to his personal stories, cultural humour, and musings on the immigrant experiences, delivered in his iconic sharp wit.
