Ali Wong at Queen Elizabeth Theatre

It’s not too often a comedian can claim to be sooo popular that they HAVE to extend their tour to meet the demand of their fans, yet Ali Wong has done just that. It’s not hard to see why – Wong has an attitude and energy that holds no prisoners, but also knows how to laugh and take stock of herself without apology. Her 2016 breakout Netflix special, ‘Baby Cobra’, premiered on Mother’s Day weekend, and was a timely date to give her first special as she took to the stage with a huge baby bump. It was widely critically acclaimed, and since then, Wong has continued to show her funniness and prowess as a comedian. Her second Netflix special, ‘Hard Knock Wife’ was a hit too, conveying the ’growth’ Wong had felt, and the desperations of being a tired and frazzled parent/wife that eating old food found in the depths of the sofa to is a bonus and better than clearing it up. As well as wowing and relating to audiences on stage, Wong has also captured audiences with her screen successes. She produced the animation show, ‘Tuca And Bertie’ whilst voicing the co-lead character and co-wrote and starred in the romantic comedy, ‘Always Be My Maybe’, alongside Randall Park. Her recently premiered limited thriller series, ‘Beef’ is available to stream now, and shows the darker side of Wong’s talents with the intrigue and revenge the plot takes. As if that wasn’t enough, Wong has also thrown out the first pitch at a Giant’s Game, become an instant New York Times bestseller with her debut book, ‘Dear Girls’, had her latest Netflix special, ‘Don Wong’ be Emmy-nominated and been immortalised as a popular Halloween costume, as well as be a boss woman and mother. So, as you can see, Ali Wong is a comedy force to be reckoned with and a talent that needs to be experienced live. Don’t lose out and book your tickets today to hear her latest material. The date to save is the 9th of July 2023 and the place you need to be is the Queen Elizabeth Theatre, Vancouver.
