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.
Jimmy O. Yang Live In Hong Kong is going to be particularly special as it 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. The 37-year-old is set to take the stage at the Hong Kong Coliseum on June 14, and we’re so glad he still feels a strong enough connection to the city of his childhood to perform for us live. Those who follow him on social media will know that O. Yang can speak Cantonese, Shanghainese, and Mandarin Chinese, so we can probably expect some of his material to be in Cantonese specifically for his Hong Kong show.
Tickets are priced at $380, $580, and $780, with the first round of sales starting on May 9, 2pm, for HSBC credit card priority bookings only. This will be followed by the Klook pre-sale on May 12 at 12 noon, then sales for the general public will open on May 15 at 10am. 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.
