Description

In his debut hour, Jin Hao walks you through the seascape of his mind, filled with nightmares of being a spider, dreams of joining the yakuza and breezy memories of serving in the military with the boys. Confronting fear with mischief and imagination, he surprises with gritty softness, honest lies and pockets of joy. BBC New Comedy Awards and Chortle Student finalist. Tour support for Celya AB, Olga Koch, and Tom Stade. Pleasance Comedy Reserve 2023.

Utterly brilliant. An exceptionally crafted hour, delivered in an understated way. I hope Jin Hao Li goes far - on the basis of this he sure deserves to.

This was a bit of a punt in a gap between shows we had booked.
Winner!
Really well crafted stuff delivered with style and substance. His very weird nightmares leading to some hilarious outcomes.

He creates a truly unique relationship with his audience, incorporating everything from physical comedy and visual gags to rap and calling out his tech. No stone is left unturned in his pursuit for the perfect hour and in the case of Jin Hao Li, he’s very nearly there.

Jin’s is one of the debuts I’ve been most excited about seeing here, based in part on a small bit he did on a mixed bill and, let me tell you, I’m thrilled to have had all expectations surpassed. I left the show wearing an absolutely massive grin (hao li).
