KUALA LUMPUR — American comedian, actor, and author Jimmy O. Yang is set to bring his stand-up comedy show here for one night only, performing at the Idea Live Arena on Nov 23 as part of his Big & Tall world tour.

Presented by Bohm Presents and LOL Asia, this marks Yang’s first official show in Malaysia, following the cancellation of a previously scheduled appearance in 2022.

Yang is a seasoned stand-up comedian with two hit specials on Amazon Prime Video: Good Deal (2020) and Guess How Much? (2023).

His comedy often resonates with global audiences, particularly within the Asian diaspora, offering candid and hilarious takes on immigrant parents, cultural identity, and the pursuit of the “American dream.”

He is also a globally recognised actor, known for his standout roles as Jian-Yang in HBO’s Silicon Valley, Bernard Tai in the blockbuster film Crazy Rich Asians, and Josh Lin in the Netflix rom-com Love Hard.

Most recently, he appeared in Hulu’s Interior Chinatown, directed by Academy Award winner Taika Waititi.

Beyond the screen, Yang is the best-selling author of How to American: An Immigrant’s Guide to Disappointing Your Parents, a poignant and funny memoir chronicling his unconventional path to success.
