originally published: 04/08/2025

(NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ) -- New Brunswick Performing Arts Center (NBPAC) presents Joe Wong's Stand-Up Comedy Tour: Between Jobs on Friday, April 11, 2025 at 8:00pm. Comedian Peng Dang will open the night.

Renowned Chinese-American comedian Joe Wong is delivering his signature humor and sharp cultural insights to audiences across North America. Wong’s tour promises an evening of laughter, storytelling, and reflections on the immigrant experience.

Wong, known for his deadpan delivery and witty observations, has gained international acclaim through appearances on The Late Show with David Letterman, The Ellen Show, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and as the keynote speaker at the 66th Radio and Television Correspondents’ Dinner, where he famously roasted then-Vice President Joe Biden.

His all-new stand-up set will explore themes of cultural identity, life as an international student, and the humor found in navigating different worlds. Known for his ability to bridge East and West through comedy, Wong’s work resonates with diverse audiences, proving that humor is a universal language.

Tickets are available for purchase online.  This performance will run for 120 minutes with no intermission. Ages 18+. New Brunswick Performing Arts Center (NBPAC) is located at 11 Livingston Avenue in New Brunswick, New Jersey.

Joe has acted in blockbuster films in both the U.S. and China and hosted the popular Chinese TV talk show Is This True? for a decade.

Joe's contributions extend to literature, with several books and e-books to his name. He was honored in the 2018 book First Generation: 36 Trailblazing Immigrants and Refugees Who Make America Great and was inducted into the Asian Hall of Fame in 2024.
