RICE | A comedy show about growing up in China | ALVIN LIU

Confucius said, "We can all find happiness with a bowl of rice."

Transgressive, irreverent, yet adorable and heartfelt, with a touch of political satire. Rice (WIP) is a comedy show about growing up in China and fighting repression with food.

"Charm personified, definitely one to watch" ★★★★★ (Morning Star)

"What he has is potent in its imagery, authenticity, perverse logic, and volatility" (British Comedy Guide)

Made in China, schooled by the English, influenced by Tupac, Alvin Liu shares his ridiculous and unforced views on cultures and countries. Alvin started doing stand-up in Shanghai and in 2022 moved to London to pursue his dream of being a funny expat. Since then he has performed at The Comedy Store, Top Secret, brought his show to the Brighton Fringe and Edinburgh Fringe, and he has been nominated for BBC New Comedy Awards.
