Jason Leong
It has been a groundbreaking year of comedy for Dr. Jason Leong. In October he became the first Malaysian to win the Annual International Comedy Competition held in Hong Kong where he was also voted Overall Audience Favourite. He won 40,000HKD in cash plus an opportunity to tour the US where Dr. Jason will perform in various comedy shows in Los Angeles, Minneapolis and New York. 2013 was also the year Dr Jason made inroads in corporate comedy. His first major production in collaboration with Pfizer Malaysia called ‘Get H4RD, Stand UP!’ brought together international comics from Singapore, Hong Kong and Philippines. It sold out to maximum capacity at 1350 seats over 3 nights in November and boosted Pfizer’s brand awareness tremendously.
Additionally, Dr Jason worked with Alliance Bank Malaysia and helped inject comedy into their 2013 campaign called the Bizsmart Academy SME Innovation Challenge. Dr. Jason appeared in their online viral ad, wrote and directed their radio ad, hosted and performed comedy for their finale, the Awards Celebration in December.
Dr Jason’s public appearances include being the resident emcee of Comedy Kao Kao, a monthly comedy show which he started 2 years ago and in the Malaysian Association of Chinese Comedians (MACC) produced by Douglas Lim. As Malaysia's fastest rising comic, Dr Jason will entertain audiences with clean, sharp and observational humour provided the audience is intelligent, understands English and has good hearing.
