About this Event

Welcome to a TumenLaughs production: Hotpot of Jokes! Featuring some of the Bay Area’s funniest comedians, this hilarious night unfolds in the heart of San Francisco’s Chinatown at one of its premier nightlife spots—Lion’s Den!
We believe in quality over quantity which is why $15 may seem a lot for a comedy show that you have never heard of, the quality of comedians you will be seeing will be way worth your 1500 cents.

Here is a little about our performers:

Headliner: Dauood Naimyar

Dauood Mohammad Naimyar is an Afghan American comedian making waves in the comedy world. He’s performed at top venues like the Punchline, Cobb’s Comedy Club, and San Jose Improv, with appearances on Don’t Tell Comedy and Comedy Central. Beyond the stage, his sharp, culturally insightful humor has earned him over 250,000 followers on TikTok and Instagram. Dauood’s comedy draws from his experiences as an Afghan living in America, with viral hits satirizing politicians and world leaders. Catch him now in Chinatown before he’s selling out stadiums!

Features

Victor Pachecho

Nicknamed "The Hispanic Titanic", Victor is guaranteed to have you laughing until you fall through your chair. With over 10 years of experience, and hosting for big names such as John Witherspoon, Victor is the real deal and is guaranteed to put up an entertaining and energizing show.

Cathy Zhao

From opening for Joe Wong and Margaret Cho to performing at the Laugh Factory and San Jose Improv, Cathy has entertained audiences worldwide. Offstage, she runs Laugh it Out Hub, a nonprofit empowering underprivileged teens through stand-up and improv

Mark Noyer

You can’t spell ‘Mark Noyer is Funny’ without ‘Mark Noyer.’ A staple of the SF comedy scene, he’s made his mark hosting open mics, running shows, and performing across the Bay Area. Catch him now before he makes his departure from California to bigger stages.

RK Vamsi

Originally from a small village in India, RK found his comedic voice in Barcelona and Taipei, rising in Taipei’s scene with sharp storytelling. Now in the Bay Area, he uses humor to challenge racial stereotypes and social issues

Host

Ed Tong

Ed Tong, an East Bay native and producer of TumenLaughs, is an up-and-coming Bay Area comic, blending sharp, edgy humor with stories of the Asian diaspora, immigrant parents, and working in Tech. From ghost-town bars to packed clubs, he’ll have you laughing—and questioning why.

Collaboration with Laughswbenefits
For this event, we’re partnering with laughswbenefits (ig: @laughswbenefits) , a charity comedy production organization, to raise donations during the show in support of the Chinatown Community Development Center. Your contributions will help families and seniors secure safe, affordable housing, break the cycle of poverty, and build long-term financial stability.
