On May 8, 2025, it was announced that Hong Kong-American comedian and actor Jimmy O. Yang will debut his first Asian stand-up show in Hong Kong. Titled "Jimmy O. Yang Live In Hong Kong," this inaugural event is set for June 14, 2025, at the iconic Hong Kong Coliseum. This performance marks a significant milestone in Yang's career and is the only Asian destination on his tour, which will continue to London and Amsterdam.
Yang, who is celebrated for his engaging videos and notable performances, visited Hong Kong in March 2025, where he explored local cuisine and interacted with local celebrities such as Dayo Wong and Chow Yun-fat. His return to Hong Kong for this special performance represents a heartfelt homecoming to the city of his childhood.
Proficient in Cantonese, Shanghainese, and Mandarin Chinese, Yang is expected to deliver a unique comedic experience tailored for his Hong Kong audience. He aims to blend local culture with humor, drawing from his personal journey and experiences growing up in the city.
Tickets for the show are priced at HK$380, HK$580, and HK$780. HSBC credit cardholders will enjoy priority access to ticket sales starting on May 9, 2025, at 2 p.m. Following this, a pre-sale through Klook will take place on May 12, 2025, at 12 p.m., with general public ticket sales opening on May 15, 2025, at 10 a.m. Given the limited seating capacity of the Hong Kong Coliseum, which accommodates only 12,500 individuals, high demand is anticipated for this one-night-only performance.
Fans are encouraged to mark their calendars for the ticket release dates, as this show promises to be one of the most anticipated live performances of the season. As Yang prepares for this significant event, he brings with him a blend of punchy punchlines and unexpected twists, ensuring a night filled with laughter.
Known for his breakout roles in "Crazy Rich Asians," "Silicon Valley," and Netflix’s "Love Hard," Yang has cultivated a dedicated following thanks to his razor-sharp humor and refreshingly honest take on identity, family, and fame. His Netflix special "Good Deal" was a global success, and fans have been eagerly awaiting his next act.
The show will kick off at 8:15 p.m. on June 14, 2025, making it an ideal night out for comedy lovers in Hong Kong. Whether you’re a long-time fan or just discovering his work, this is one of those must-attend events on the city’s cultural calendar.
As the date approaches, anticipation grows for what promises to be an unforgettable evening filled with laughter, culture, and the unique comedic perspective of Jimmy O. Yang. This performance not only marks a significant moment in Yang’s career but also serves as a celebration of his roots and a tribute to the city that shaped him.
