Bryan is a regular at the Bar 109 open mic on Mondays and hosts The Aftermath Open Mic weekly. With a mix of observational comedy about being a self proclemed “Boujie Ass Negro” along with a dose of healthy self reflection, his energetic personality and unique look always brings a good time.

Garron Chiu is an American born stand up comedian based in Hong Kong.

​

A mainstay in the Hong Kong comedy scene, he was the winner of the 2018 Hong Kong International Comedy Competition and was featured in Comedy Central's "Stand Up Asia!" season 2. He has performed with world class acts such as Jim Gaffigan, Hannibal Buress, Ari Shaffir, Tom Rhodes, Gina Yashere, Tony Woods, Dwayne Perkins, Roy Wood Jr., Paul Ogata and many more.

On stage you will find him trying to justify his huge ego, and try to figure out whether he is too Asian or not Asian enough. All this while failing to run from his stereotypes and making people laugh along the way.

Oh, and he rocks the most amazing eyebrows ever.

Steve Lee is a Chinese American Disabled Stand-Up comedian, actor, producer and writer. Growing up in Hong Kong and the US, his comedy is centered around his experiences in the US and Hong Kong dealing with racism and living with disabilities, and his content is remarkably original. Rather than being encumbered by stereotypes, Steve is vitalized by them. 

​

He blends stories and punchlines to convey his belief that we are all equal - equally ignorant, fallible, weird, and desiring freedom. For Steve, comedy is a way to get people - including himself - to laugh about our own shortcomings and problems in our daily lives.
