The hot topic of June last year was most definitely Asian-American comedian Jimmy O. Yang bringing his stand-up comedy show to Hong Kong. After multiple rounds of teasing, pre-sales, ticket drops that sold out immediately, and additional dates to cope with the demand, O. Yang finally performed a total of five shows in the Hong Kong Coliseum, but there were still plenty of fans who were left bereft.
Good news for all who couldn’t manage to beat the bots and online queues last summer, because O. Yang’s show will be screened in cinemas next month! From March 20-29, ‘Jimmy O. Yang Finally Home’ will be available to watch on the big screens exclusively in Emperor Cinema locations in Causeway Bay Times Square and Tsim Sha Tsui iSquare.
Captured in 4K and reengineered for cinema acoustics, viewers can fully immerse themselves in the applause, laughter, and whoops that rang through the Hong Kong Coliseum last summer. Though not officially confirmed, we’re guessing this cinematic version will feature the best bits from all five shows, because why wouldn’t they if they’re editing a cinema cut? Those who have seen O. Yang’s work in movies and TV series such as Silicon Valley, Crazy Rich Asians, and Interior Chinatown will know that his professional comedy is performed in English, but for his Hong Kong show, which he described as a homecoming, O. Yang had especially whipped out his Cantonese skills and worked in local elements as a tribute to Hong Kong comedy culture.
Tickets for ‘Jimmy O. Yang Finally Home’ are available for $120, while VIP Cinemer members can enjoy a discounted price of $108. There will also be special gifts for this cinema event: from now until February 22, the purchase of two tickets will get you an early-bird exclusive set of ‘Guess How Much?’ lai see red packets designed with catchphrases and iconic lines from O. Yang’s show. Buying single tickets will get you a set of commemorative stickers, while VIP Cinemer members can receive a limited-edition collectible pin. Gifts are given on a first-come-first-served basis while stock lasts.
