Yeah Mad TV, an online comedy channel that made headlines in 2023 due to strong and engaging short-form comedy content, mostly focusing on programs like Dad Jokes, The Roast, Charades, Fact or Fiction, and Reddit Reacts, with over two million subscribers each on YouTube and TikTok.
AUDIENCE INFORMATION
Coarse language and adult themes
“With Succulent Comedy Showcase (a play on the infamous ‘succulent Chinese meal’ viral video), audiences are treated to seven of Australia’s best Asian comedians…I love these types of shows because they provide a wide range of comedic styles in only sixty minutes. It’s a buffet of comedy, so to speak, with many different tasty Asian dishes to savour. Wholesome, filling, and a night that will leave you rubbing your belly (with laughter), the Succulent Comedy Showcase is an Asian buffet worth visiting again. Sit back with a bag of prawn crackers and enjoy!”
