Jen was a dream to work with. From the very beginning, she was personable and extremely professional. She took great care to ensure that she delivered on the brief while also injecting a good dose of humour.
Jen took the audience on an insightful journey into the complexities of the Chinese consumer and kept everyone engaged throughout. I hope to have another opportunity to work with Jen.
Testimonials
“Chinese-Australian comedian Jennifer Wong is not only a critically-acclaimed performer with a sharp sense of humour, she is without a doubt one of our country’s top emerging cultural leaders to watch.
Her performance work is to be celebrated for its distinctiveness and flair; for the innovative way it challenges our knowledge of Chinese culture while giving us a rare opportunity to appreciate the subtleties that too often get lost in translation.
Ms Wong is a very talented mediator, and should be widely acclaimed for advancing our understanding of Chinese lifestyle, customs and ultimately…humour.”

“Humour, both conscious and unconscious, proliferates as Australia engages more deeply with Asia, and Jennifer has deep experience of this puzzle in cross-cultural communication.
She has a rich mine of material to share with her audiences. In our own studies about the history of Chinese humour, we learned a lot about what Australians have in common with Chinese people – and also about potential pitfalls and misunderstandings.
Jennifer has turned this kind of fieldwork into the most engaging and delightful stage performance. In her most recent appearance she reduced the rather staid audience of members of the Australian Institute of International Affairs and their guests to tears of hysterical laughter.”

“All Together Now engaged Jennifer Wong to curate the line-up for a celebration event we held in June 2015.
Being an anti-racism organisation, it was really important to us that the comedians we approached would be culturally diverse AND able to talk about racism in a funny-but-sensitive way. It was a big ask!
Jennifer did a superb job with her selection of comedians, and liaison between the comedians and our organisation.
To top it off, Jennifer MC’d the event and kept everybody laughing all evening. We would definitely work with her again!”

"We engaged Jennifer to host an online event across three evenings via Zoom.
It was a pleasure to work with Jennifer, and her playful professionalism gave our team the energy and motivation we needed to design and successfully execute our vision.
Jennifer kept the audience engaged in an intelligent and cheerful way that was also balanced with a serious manner. She also managed our VIP speakers, which included an ex-Prime MInister and senior diplomats, with respect and poise.
The event was a resounding success."
