Ali Wong has announced that she will tour Australia for the very first time in July 2024 as part of her ongoing Ali Wong: Live stand-up comedy world tour. The Asian-American actor, writer, producer and comedian will perform three shows in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane – the full run of dates and venues can be found below. She will also perform one show in New Zealand while in the Australasia region, taking to The Civic in Auckland on Monday July 8th.
Wong, who has been performing stand-up comedy since the mid-2000s, first came to international prominence with the release of her Netflix special Baby Cobra in 2016. Both it and its follow-up, 2018’s Hard Knock Wife, were filmed while Wong was seven months pregnant with her two respective children. She had her first lead film role in the 2019 romantic comedy Always Be My Maybe, on which she also served as a producer and one of its writers.
