Jason Leong: In Laughing Memory

Jason Leong: In Laughing Memory

After losing one of his best friends to cancer, Dr Jason Leong did a very Dr Jason Leong thing to process his grief: write a comedy show about it.

Join him in his most personal hour yet, as he navigates loss and love with laughter.

Dr Jason Leong is a medical doctor turned comedian and he never fails to bring that up, unprompted. He has had two Netflix specials, performed at Just For Laughs Montreal in 2022, and won the 7th Annual International Hong Kong Comedy Competition. He tours around the world because he loves comedy and ultimately, money.

Jason opens with a darkly funny yet touching tale about loss—specifically, the death of a close friend. It’s bleak, yes, but told in the way only Jason can: sincere, raw, and cathartically hilarious. -Bakchormeeboy, Singapore

"It is easy to see why Leong is such a hit with Malaysian audiences — at the heart of it all, he is a gifted storyteller." ★★★★★ The Malay Mail

"Manages to transcend the typical Malaysian tropes, while still never losing the provenance of where his humor took root." ★★★★★★ Coconuts KL

“An engaging, amiable chap.” ★★★★ ArtsHub Australia

“Great sharp-witted humour” Stage Whispers Australia

"He’ll pick up on the everyday, mundane minutiae of life and blow it out of proportion for a good laugh." Hype.my
