Comedy • Stand-Up
New Zealand • World Premiere

In 2023, Henry emerged victorious at Melbourne International Comedy Festival’s RAW Comedy National Grand Final and showcased his talents at the Edinburgh Fringe's So You Think You Are Funny? competition. He is currently living his dream. Henry’s comedy uncovers the quirks of everyday life and his unique perspective on the world's absurdities. With a penchant for silliness, he adds a flavourful touch to life, choosing to spread a light-hearted joy to the world.

Presented by: Henry Yan

Speaky is the term I use at home instead of ‘comedy’ to my mum. I had to name my show Speaky since it’s the only way she will know this show is stand-up comedy! This hour is a love letter to my family, friends and my wife, who I have yet to meet (or fall in love with?!).

Henry Yan will tell you why life is so good to live in one hour! He is a confident nerd that really wants to share the absurdities of his everyday life. He will delve into his experiences with family and his struggles to comprehend normal life.

"He has a winningly odd energy, slightly awkward and nerdy but owning it with confidence, while being apparently entertained by his own gags” - Chortle
