Hung Le
He headlined and got an encore in his very first stand up attempt. Hung, the world’s first, best and tallest Vietnamese comic guarantees to spin your mind, dazzle your imagination and awaken your funny zones.
29th April 1975, the last day of the Vietnam war, a nine year old boy jumped onto a leaking prawn trawler on Saigon River with a box of dried biscuits and some seasick pills and managed to survive thirst and hunger to cheat death to become one of the first Vietnamese boat people to land in Australia.
His movies include The Wogboy, Fat Pizza, True Love and Chaos, Broken Hill and Sensitive New Age Killer.
Hung is a favourite at Montreal Comedy Festival, Edinburgh Festival and Melbourne International Comedy Festival
An author, musician, clown, actor and all round song and dance man…Hung’s stand up work and theatre shows are always edgy, satirical, political and his musical send ups go straight for the jocular.
His first book ‘The Yellow Peril From Sin City’ was released through Penguin. His second, a children’s book ‘BarryNoodles & DaKillerBs’ is with Random House.
A constant on the world festival stage and TV since 1988, Hung has made documentaries for the ABC, SBS, Discovery Channel. TV includes CNN, MTV, The Muppet Show, Wow Wow[Japan], London Weekend Television and all throughout Asia.
Feedback/Comments
Great show very entertaining
Non stop laughs
Support acts were just as deserving as Hung Le. Great nights entertainment with a huge dose of humor.
Witty and very funny
The show was 3 supports + headline act Hung Le. An enjoyable night out and the Comic's Lounge is a popular venue. We had great seats and enjoyed a good night of laughs. Definitely plan to keep supporting local comedic talent.
