Sonny Yang
COMEDIAN & WRITER
Melbourne 2026 Tickets On Sale Now!
Sonny is an absurdist comedian, comedy writer, satirist, and improviser. His productions typically involve multiple (poorly acted) characters, (awkwardly handled) audience interaction, (slightly f*cked) plots, (heavily biased) socio-political commentary, and (cheaply made) audio-visual multimedia.
