Ronny Chieng – You Don’t Know What You’re Talking About
Off the back of the announcement that he has joined The Daily Show with Trevor Noah as a regular external correspondent, multi-award winning Malaysian-born Chinese comedian Ronny Chieng returns to Australia for his smash solo show, You Don’t Know What You’re Talking About.
Tackling everyday idiocy and the human inability to say “I don’t know”, this encore show is one of your last chances to see Chieng in Australia this year as he relocates to the US for his new Comedy Central gig.
Endearing to a tee, Chieng has seen his comedy career skyrocket in the last year. Winner of the Directors’ Choice Award at he 2014 Melbourne International Comedy festival and Best of the Fest Local Award at the 2014 Sydney Comedy Festival, he was also nominated for the Helpmann Award for Best Comedy Performer for the second year running.
After appearances at Montreal’s invite-only Just for Laughs, Edinburgh Festival Fringe and London’s Soho Theatre, Chieng also released his debut live comedy album, The Ron Way, which garnered an ARIA Award nomination for Best Comedy Release.
Following a sold out show at The Concourse late last month, you can try your luck with his Enmore Theatre Show, which had to be rescheduled from September after his successful Daily Show audition. (ES)
Nov 19. Enmore Theatre, 118-132 Enmore Rd, Newtown. $35. Tickets & info: enmoretheatre.com.au or (02) 9550 3666.
