ASIAN COMEDY INVASION
Attention, this show takes place on a Monday
Some top Asian comedians are arround after their run at the Edimburgh Fringe. Don't miss their first ever show in Brussels!
Jinx Yeo
Jinx Yeo is an award-winning Singaporean comedian. His hard-hitting punchlines, effortless delivery, and clever material won him 1st Runner-Up at the Hong Kong International Comedy Festival (2011). Jinx's comedy has been featured on TV in programs such as Comedy Central Asia (where he was “Comedian of the Month” for June 2015), Singapore Channel 5’s “Ok Chope" as well as ABCTV’s “Comedy Up Late” (recorded at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2017).
Birthed from intercourse between his strict conservative Asian upbringing, and anti-authoritarian Hippie influences from studying in America, Jinx's comedy offers a fresh perspective that hasn't been covered by many comedians, partly because Singaporeans have often been stereotyped as humourless and regimented people. Jinx has a diverse arsenal of hilarious and original material, that enables him to adapt his performances to a wide range of audiences – young or old, foreigners or locals, club gigs or corporate shows. His side-splitting stories, sharp observations, and bewildering imagination leaves audiences in stitches.
