About The Punchline Comedy Club: The Punchline Comedy Club was established in Hong Kong in 1994 and attracts enthusiastic audiences to entertainment by renowned comedians from the UK, USA, Australia and Canada. The Punchline Comedy Club is a regular monthly feature of the regional entertainment scene with shows in Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Bangkok, Singapore, Tokyo, Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Vietnam.

For this show, we are pleased to be flying over three outstanding comedians:
 

Jason John Whitehead

"The hit of the festival'"
- The Scotsman

"
So different, so funny!"
- The Mail

Jason John Whitehead, winner of the BBC New Comedy Award 2000, is an act fuelled by laid back wit and sarcasm, not to mention an original style that can only come from a Canadian who has cut his comedy teeth in Britain.

An international performer since age 24, Jason now lives in London and performs stand up in America, Ireland, Holland, Scotland and England.

A regular at the Edinburgh Festival since reaching the finals of Channel 4's 'So You Think You're Funny' competition in 1999, 2002 saw Whitehead performing his first solo Edinburgh show. In addition to his annual trips to Edinburgh, he has also made trips to the Halifax Comedy Festival in his native Canada where his performance was aired on CBC. Credits include:

Web Rats (BBC Choice) 2002 • How to Survive... (BBC) 2002 • Halifax Comedy Festival (CBC) Canada 200/01 • BBC New Comedy Awards (BBC1) 2000 • The Stand Up Show (BBC1) 2000 • The Comedy Store (Channel 5) 2000 • Gagging For It (Channel 5) 1999 • Adventures In Comedy (CN) Canada 1999.
 
   
Jeff Innocent


“Brilliant!”
- The Times

“Whatever you do in life, don't miss Jeff Innocent on stage!”
- Daily Telegraph

 
Jeff Innocent is an established and popular stand-up comedian on the British live comedy circuit and has appeared on national television many times.

He is from East London and had a typical ‘East End’ upbringing. Born in a workhouse, his mother dying in childbirth, he joined a gang of child pickpockets who preyed upon London’s rich. He was eventually saved by one of his very victims, a Professor Higgins who sought unsuccessfully to reform Jeff’s street urchin existence. Inevitably ‘nabbed’ by the Peelers and transported to Australia, he escaped back to the ‘East End’ where he briefly played inside-right for West Ham United. He later joined The Small Faces and worked for the Kray Twins. In his spare time Jeff enjoys Greyhound racing, listening to the music of Lee Perry and reading Walter Benjamin. Credits include:

TV: The Comedy Store Presents (Five), Edinburgh Comedy (STV), Edinburgh Nights (BBC 1), Gas (Channel 4), I Love 1999 (BBC 1), Later With Jools Holland (BBC 2), The National Lottery Show (BBC 1), Red Nose Day (BBC 1), Stand Up Holland (Dutch TV), Stand Up Show (RTE Ireland), The Stand Up Show (twice for BBC 1), Take The Mike (ITV), Time Gentlemen Please (Sky), Real Eastenders Channel 4), Stand Up For The World (Channel 4), Brief Histories (BBC 3). Radio: The New Vaudeville (Play for BBC radio 3), Stand Up II (BBC radio 2), The Treatment (BBC radio 5 live), The Phil Jupitus Show (GLR), Roland Rivron Show (Radio London), Sandi Toksvig Show (LBC).
