Born in Singapore and now based in Australia, Ting has spent years feeling slightly out of place in both. That outsider perspective fuels the comedy — but this is not a lecture on identity. Foreign Object is an hour of dry observations, personal stories, and brutally honest punchlines about relationships, family expectations, bureaucracy, and the quiet absurdities of modern life. Ting’s comedy is smart without being ...

Like maintaining eye contact, engaging in small-talk, or having cosmetic surgery. She's done all those things and more. Hanna has never been comfortable. Except financially. But she can't talk about that, because that makes other people uncomfortable. She also lies to her mother constantly. Because her mother has dementia, and the doctor said constant correction causes her discomfort. So if she asks, Hanna is definitely not abroad in Edinburgh for a whole month. Hanna Kano...

This is an hour of storytelling and stand-up about writing the eulogy for my father’s funeral and how I reconciled the identity of my father, my hero, with my own. My 5”3 father had a mantra: faint heart never f*cked a pig. Consequently, he did everything he ever wanted: he conjured millions of pounds from nothing, taught himself a load of institutional cultural capital and bull-shitted it enough to marry my mother. He built so much: several houses off one water-pipe (bad), the house I grew up in (good) and a 500 seat opera house with mock Palladian facade in the garden (true). He was sh...
