Jokes, Laughter, Mayhem and More: The Magners International Comedy Festival Debuts In Hong Kong Hold on to your socks Hong Kong and prepare to laugh yourself silly as the Magners International Comedy Festival – Asia’s largest comedy festival - lands on our shores for the first time from the 12 to 14 of March 2015. Set to feature some of the biggest and brightest local, regional and international talent, this event will showcase over 22 comedians plus special guests across 28 shows at 7 venues spanning over 3 nights. Laugh away with John Robertson as he graces Asia with his “The Dark Room” show – one show is a stand-up performance, the other is performed in total darkness. Be sure not to miss the world’s smallest comedian, Imaan Hadchiti who may be small in size but is big on laughs. And for his not to be missed show is Mr Al Lubel, who always brings his best, plus many more must-see acts. In the lead up, the organisers are searching for the comedy stars of tomorrow with “The Big V” competition to be held in January 2015 across Philippines, Hong Kong and Singapore. The Hong Kong Final will be held at TakeOut Comedy on Wed, Jan 22, 8pm. The competition is in honour of the late Vernon Lewis, a Singaporean-based comedian and organiser of last year’s event, who sadly passed away in 2014.
