4th Annual Hong Kong International Comedy Festival and Competitions
hi comedy fans!
TakeOut Comedy is excited to announce the schedule for The 4th Annual
Hong Kong International Comedy Festival from Oct 6-16!
This year, we welcome back SHECKY WONG (as seen on Comedy Central,
Showtime, MTV)! He helped open our club in Feb 2007 and we are excited
to see his return. He is one of the godfathers of Asian American
standup comics. He has been on the comedy scene since the 1980’s,
appearing on numerous TV shows and on the national comedy club
circuit.
We will also have VIVEK MAHBUBANI (2007 Chinese and 2008 English HK
Funniest Comedian) perform his FIRST English One Man show!
We will as always also have Open Mics, Improv by Peoples Liberation
Improv, a Free Standup Comedy Workshop, and our growing Chinese and
English Standup Comedy Competitions!
We have grown tremendously since our first festival in 2007,
especially our English Standup Comedy Competition! Last year, we had
30 contestants representing 16 countries compete for $20,000HK in cash
prizes! The Finals last year had 9 comics representing 9 different
countries!
This year, we hope to more international as now we have $40,000HK in
cash prizes for the competitions!
