Description

Great insightful comedy mixing his personal life with the geopolitical situation Taiwan finds itself in. Lovely likeable guy who engages with his audience. Got a badge at the end which I put in a back pocket… it came undone later in the evening. First time I’ve had a prick in the arse from a gay guy :-)

Wonderful storytelling and hilarious jokes that are delivered with warmth and biting wit. I was genuinely sad when the hour was up! Go see Kuan-wen and support this lovey, unique, very funny show!!

Kuan-wen is a very talented comedian. He not only used materials of Taiwan but also linked to his life as a British citizen to construct the whole show. The whole hour was humorous and hilarious. 1 hour was not long enough. Kuan-Wen was event better than some British comedians with big names. Highly recommended!
