Vivek Mahbubani is a Hong Kong-bred bilingual stand-up comedian performing in both Cantonese and English. Having been crowned the Funniest Person (in Chinese) in Hong Kong in 2007 followed by his victory in the English category at the Hong Kong International Comedy Competition in 2008, Vivek has had the opportunity to take his sense of humor all over the world including Hong Kong, China, Macau, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Sri Lanka, India, Australia, Canada and USA.

In 2014, the World Famous Laugh Factory in USA ranked Vivek as one of the top 10 comedians in their Annual Funniest Person in the World Competition.

In 2015, he was handpicked as one of the comedians to represent Asia’s best in Melbourne International Comedy Festival’s inaugural “Comedy Zone Asia” shows.

In 2016, he was featured in Comedy Central’s first ever “Stand up Asia!” shows. One of Vivek’s passions is reading and his favorite book is Sun Tzu’s Art of War. Oddly, his favorite color is hot pink.

Muk is born and raised in Hong Kong, and is well travelled living in 6 different countries.

He is highly educated, holding 3 university degrees and is somehow managing to use absolutely none of them as he is now a personal trainer and stand up comedian.

His comedy style is based on true life experiences, true stories where every time something good happens, misfortune prevails in extremely strange ways.

She’s the former organiser of Varietea Party and Broad Appeal, winner of multiple Bushiroasts and has been featured in Time Out magazine as one of “5 Comics Defining Stand Up in Hong Kong”. Her most recent accomplishment is finally clearing out her inbox.

He is a regular at the Hong Kong International Comedy Festival as well as the past winner of the Hong Kong International Comedy Competition.

“One of the most original comedians I have worked with. In my opinion, he’s a must see comedian.” - Tom Cotter (USA)

Byron is a bilingual Stand Up Comedian in Hong Kong. He’s gotten first place in both cantonese and english competitions, which is pretty much as impressive as gold in the Olympics. Or at least bronze in one of the events no one cares about. Like curling.
