Cross Border Comedy
For her first international comedy tour, Australian-Chinese comedian Annie Louey travels to Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Cambodia, using stand-up to explore cultural differences and unexpected similarities across Asia’s comedy scene.
With just 72 hours in each country, Annie dives into the local comedy culture, meets top comedians, and uncovers what it takes to break into their scene. From unwritten comedy rules to the jokes that never land, she learns what makes people laugh in places far from home.
