About this Event

CSC Show – Laughter on Pender
Join award-winning comedians Vivek Mahbubani and Joanna Sio for a unique bilingual comedy experience in the heart of Chinatown.

  • 2:30–3:30 PM | Cantonese Show: Joanna warms up the stage, then Vivek takes you through a full Cantonese set.
  • 4:30–5:30 PM | English Show: Vivek opens, followed by Joanna’s sharp and witty English set.

Both shows also feature a special segment where the comics switch languages, exploring how jokes transform across English and Cantonese, followed by an audience Q&A on writing, humour, and cultural nuance.

Get ready for an afternoon of laughter, insight, and comedy that bridges cultures.
