Jiaoying Summers at Hawaii Theatre

Comedian Jiaoying Summers, named one of Variety’s 10 Comics to Watch for 2025, headlines the Hawaii Theatre on Friday, December 11, at 8 p.m. Her Hulu special What Specie Are You? turns life as a first-generation immigrant, cultural clashes, identity and motherhood into sharp, fearless stand-up. She was the first Chinese comedian to headline and sell out the Apollo Theater, has more than a billion social media views, hosts the Tiger Mom podcast, and owns two comedy clubs, The Hollywood Comedy and The Green Room Comedy Café. The show is presented by Hawaii Theatre Center. Tickets on the Hawaii Theatre box office site ran $40.50 to $80.50 by section when we checked. Details are on the official Hawaii Theatre event page.
