The Sweet and Sour Hour of Power - Smiling Chinese woman wearing glasses, in front of an orange background.

The Sweet and Sour Hour of Power

Comedy • Stand-up
New South Wales • World Premiere

In pursuit of a sense of vitality while managing her depression, comedian and food enthusiast Jennifer Wong (ABC’s Chopsticks or Fork?) road-tests the latest fitness and wellbeing trends so that you don’t have to. It’s the show for anyone who’s ever been asked, “Have you tried yoga?”

As seen and heard on The Cook Up (SBS), Celebrity Letters and Numbers (SBS), Thank God It’s Friday (ABC Radio Sydney), Chat 10 Looks 3. 

★★★★½ “With disarming ease and a talent for misdirection, Wong’s routine hits comedy gold time and time again.” The Age

★★★★½ “A quick-flowing hour of self-deprecating, hilariously absurd situational stand-up. There’s something deeply moving and human beneath her non-stop humour.” InDaily

★★★★ “Jennifer Wong talks; raucous laughter ensues.” ArtsHub

“Top 10 shows not to miss at Sydney Fringe” The Sydney Morning Herald
