Wonho Chung – one of the Middle East’s best known and beloved comedians – performs one night only in NYC. **The show is in Arabic**
Wonho Chung is a critically acclaimed stand-up comedian, singer, musician, interviewer and media personality. Born to South Korean and Vietnamese parents, Wonho was raised in Jordan speaking Arabic as his mother tongue. His fluency in the language of the region and immersion in its culture from childhood have given this multi-talented entertainer a unique Asian-Arabperspective, enabling him to make a strong connection with audiences in this part of the world.
Wonho’s comedy career began in 2007, when Showtime Arabia approached him to join the Axis of Evil comedy tour as the North Korean character they were looking for. Wonho toured with the revue for a month, performing 27 shows in front of 20,000 people in Jordan, Egypt, Kuwait, Lebanon and Dubai. His subsequent first television appearance came in Show Comedy’s follow-up mini-series to this tour, titled Three guys and Wonho, which won a golden trophy at the 2008 Promax BDA awards ceremony held in Dubai.
