ABOUT TURNER SPARKS

Born in California, award-winning comedian Turner Sparks started his comedy career in 2009 in Suzhou, China by founding Mainland China’s first stand up comedy club, “Kung Fu Komedy”. Sparks lived in China from 2004-2016 while he built and created New York’s successful “Mister Softee Ice Cream Truck” business in the region, the first foreign-owned ice cream truck in China. Now a worldwide performer and a headliner across Asia and the US, Sparks has performed in 15 countries and continues to draw rave reviews with his razor sharp punch lines, quick wit and global perspective. He performs hundreds of shows a year throughout the world and was awarded “Best of the Fest” at the 2014 Akumal Comedy Festival (Mexico) presented by Stand Up Records, “1st Runner Up” in the 2015 Hong Kong International Comedy Competition and “Best of the Fest” at the 2016 Burbank Comedy Festival (Los Angeles).
