A Night to Remember in Hong Kong!

On June 14, 2025, Hong Kong-born Hollywood star and comedian Jimmy O. Yang made a stunning comeback to his roots, launching the first of five eagerly awaited stand-up performances at the famed Hong Kong Coliseum. The inaugural show attracted a glittering lineup of VIPs, including his idol Dayo Wong, the iconic Brigitte Lin, and celebrated singers Hacken Lee, Leo Koo, and JW. Yang's family even joined him on stage to express their gratitude to the enthusiastic audience.

A Promise Fulfilled!

Yang honored a personal promise by starting his first Asian tour in his beloved Hong Kong, delivering an unforgettable experience at the historic Coliseum. His routine was peppered with local dialect and humor, forging a strong bond with the crowd. The night kicked off with a bang as Yang made a dramatic entrance, echoing the flair of Beyoncé, to the vibrant beats of The Weeknd’s "Blinding Lights," earning him a roar of applause.

From Local Talent to Global Star!

Yang’s ascent to stardom has been nothing short of extraordinary. After stealing the show in the hit series "Interior Chinatown," he openly praises Hong Kong comedy legend Dayo Wong as his inspiration. Originally from Hong Kong, Yang relocated to the United States at 13, becoming an economics graduate from the University of California, San Diego. Yet, his true passion lay in comedy, where he expertly weaves together themes of cultural identity and immigrant experiences through his humor.

Celebrating His Roots in Style!

Yang's performances at the Coliseum are not just showcases of his Hollywood talent; they are heartfelt homages to his heritage. While the shows have strict rules against filming (except at designated moments), they are crafted to ensure that live attendees enjoy an authentic experience that resonates deeply.

An Unforgettable Experience Await!

With the buzz surrounding his homecoming and guest appearances, including the local hip-hop sensation FAMA, Jimmy O. Yang's stand-up series is not to be missed. His return to Hong Kong is a celebration of his journey, combining laughter, nostalgia, and cultural connection—all woven into one spectacular night!
