Last summer, for just a few days, Hongkongers were divided into two lots – those who were blessed enough to snag tickets to see actor and comedian Jimmy O. Yang perform live in Hong Kong or Macau, and those whose luck didn’t stretch that far. For those poor unfortunate souls, it’s not over just yet: O. Yang has recently announced on Instagram that he will be coming back to our neck of the woods for a special Lunar New Year performance!
Yang will return to Galaxy Macau for one night only on February 21, 2026, bringing his trademark deadpan humour, self-deprecating standup routines, and sharp cultural observations to the Galaxy Arena, Macau’s largest such indoor venue. He made a name for himself with roles in the HBO comedy series Silicon Valley, Netflix comedy series Space Force, blockbuster rom-com Crazy Rich Asians, and the Hulu series Interior Chinatown, but his dynamic standup shows provide the ideal medium for his unique brand of comedy to shine.
In addition to standup, the ‘Galaxy Macau Presents: The Jimmy O. Yang Chinese New Year Show’ will also feature live music performances, and the posters are boldly teasing “surprise guests” as well, so we wait with bated breath to find out who will be joining him on stage. (Sadly, there’s no news about whether he will also come to Hong Kong as part of this special CNY appearance, but we’re keeping our ears to the ground.)
If O. Yang’s last standup series in Hong Kong is anything to go by – he had five shows lined up in June this year, they all sold out in the blink of an eye, and fans were still left clamouring for tickets – then this auspiciously planned mega show in February will no doubt also be highly sought after. However, there may be some relief for those hunting for tickets: Because O. Yang already did several shows in Macau this past July, hopefully that means that fans who have already seen him perform might not join the fierce competition for seats.
General sales have already begun on multiple platforms, including Galaxy Ticketing, Trip.com, Ctrip, Damai, Maoyan, Uutix, and Mpay, with tickets available in the following pricing tiers: $380, $480, $680, $780, and $880. Good luck!
