Nominee Best Newcomer Edinburgh Comedy Awards 2024

Main Prize Finalist BBC New Comed7 Award 2023

Hot off the heels of his Best Newcomer nominated Edinburgh Fringe season, Jin Hao Li (Singapore/UK) walks you through the seascape of his mind, filled with nightmares of being a spider, dreams of joining the yakuza and breezy memories of serving in the military with the boys.

Confronting fear with mischief and imagination, Jin surprises with gritty softness, honest lies and pockets of joy.

Packed with clever jokes, running gags and punchlines that hit just right, each bit of Jin’s hour is a little adventure. His lively presence and animated delivery make every moment engaging.
