The Adelaide Fringe and Melbourne International Comedy Festival are hurtling towards us - here's a rundown of the shows I'm putting on in the next few months, including how to buy tickets (which you should definitely do). 

Jason Chong's Mum - stand up comedy

This show has almost nothing to do with my mum, I just wanted you to be able to walk into the box office and say: “I’d like 2 tickets to Jason Chong’s Mum.”  You’re welcome.

After 18 months touring with the award-winning Il Dago show, Jason returns with a brand new hour of jokes and stories.

As tolerated on 7pm Project, Today, The Footy Show, NOVA, SAFM and Google.

“Slap-the-skin-off-your-knees hilarious; cutting edge comedy from one of Adelaide’s finest.” - Buzzcuts

“By merging anecdotes of humorous circumstances and jovial reflection, Chong has crafted a near-perfect piece” - ThreeWeeks Edinburgh

“Chong immediately won the crowd over with his unapologetic in-your- face comedy” - Sunday Times“holding their sides and wiping their eyes from genuine laughter.” - Australian Stage Online

Jason was named 2009 Adelaide Comedian of the Year and in 2011 was inducted into the Adelaide Comedy Hall of Fame.

“People who brought their kids to Reel Life told me how much they loved it.  So I’ve decided to make a version just for people shorter than me.” said Jason, clearly in the third person.
