BrisAsia Comedy Gala

Get ready to roar with laughter at the inaugural BrisAsia Comedy Gala that is shaping up to be a major BrisAsia Festival 2026 highlight.

Witness a stellar lineup of Asian Australian stand-up and improv comedians who swapped law for lols: a choice their parents are slowly learning to accept.

From childhood memories that smell faintly of Vicks to the quiet power of unspoken family expectations, these comics serve up laughs that feel both universal and deeply familiar.

Equal parts heart and humour, this is a night of comedy that feels like home (but with no one asking if you’ve eaten yet).

A celebration of community, culture and the joy of finding your people both onstage and off, BrisAsia Comedy Gala is a must-see.

Presented by Brisbane Powerhouse and Big Fork Theatre in association with BrisAsia Festival
