Jason Chong

Jason Chong is a clever, unique and innovative stand-up comedian who has performed at comedy clubs, pubs, sporting clubs and even a zoo, as well as much more illustrious corporate venues all around Australia.

Somewhere between taking the stage in 2001, being named Adelaide’s Comic of the Year in 2009 and blitzing it with his 2011 festival show Reel Life, Jason Chong became a comic who could headline and MC anywhere.

It’s all down to Jason’s quick wit, a general cleverness in his comedy and a specific passion for technology and visual trickery that he brings to his highly original shows.

And Jason certainly knows how to put a show together – whether it’s a long-running residency at a zoological park with Going Ape At The Zoo (2006-2008) or an educational school show about blood donation like Why The Bloody Hell Aren’t Ya? (2009-2010). Jason’s festival shows include the two-hander Sort of the Rings (2006, return season 2009), EmotiChong (2007) and Minority Retort (2008), as well as 2010’s sell-out Reel Life which received the Judges Commendation in Adelaide.

He has also toured as part of the sell-out smash hit comedy event Il Dago, in the all-new show, Il Dago II: Now with Noodles.

Jason’s radio work began in 2005, with three years of presenting NOVA 919’s Nights. He was a regular correspondent on SAFM’s Breakfast from 2008, the year he also began hosting the Adelaide Comedy podcast. He also presents the daily 10 Secs Education podcast.

Jason’s television appearances include The Footy Show, Today (Channel 9), The 7pm Project (Ten), The Squiz (SBS) and The Mansion (Comedy Channel). From 2011 to 2013 Jason hosted Festival Fishbowl, an online program netcast weekdays during the Adelaide Fringe Festival, showcasing the work of over a hundred comedians.

Jason is charming and very, very, very funny but he is also a total professional and extremely highly regarded by his corporate clients.
