Dr. Jason Leong is in the building and he will see you now. The former medical doctor and one of Malaysia’s funniest comedians brings his new show Brain Drain to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. The ‘humble’ doctor, fresh off the success of his second comedy special on Netflix with Ride With Caution is taking the world by storm and using his time in the spotlight to tell you why he’s leaving Malaysia for good.
Come down to the Greek Centre if you are interested in learning about the Malaysian political environment through the eyes of a comedian. Want to know more about what went down at the Crackhouse Comedy Club? He’s got you covered. Or if you want to understand what it’s like to change careers from the medical profession to a comedian, this is the show for you. Keeping it fresh with lots of pop references, from jokes about Karens, Disney Princesses and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this show has something for everyone.
For some, he’s Dr. Jason Leong, but if you come along to his show – he might even let you call him Jason.
