Don’t be fooled by Joe Machi’s boyish looks, the New York-based joker is an accomplished comedian (‘funniest comedian’ at the New York Comedy Festival). The comic is known for his high-pitched, raspy voice (he sounds like a happy grandpa) and youthful, slightly crazed, appearance. And his jokes, which tend to lean towards the dark side. Machi’s first China tour – he also performs in Shanghai – comes courtesy of Kung Fu Comedy. For tickets email order@beijingbookworm.com or call 6503 2050.
