Malay-Australian-US stand-up star Ronny Chieng is bringing his new 'Hope You Get Rich' tour back to where his comedic career began to play the Palais Theatre on March 27.
It’s Ronny’s first live show in Australia since 2019, and follows off the back of an outstanding 44 show tour across North America where he played to sold out theatres, on the back of his highly-successful and critically acclaimed Netflix special, Asian Comedian Destroys America.
Starting his career in Melbourne after emigrating from Malaysia, Chieng is now a global star thanks to his work on Trevor Noah’s The Daily Show, having also made appearances in Crazy Rich Asians, Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Godzilla vs. Kong, and his recent Ronny Chieng Takes Chinatown.

Hope You Get Rich is likely to build on the same material Chieng covered in his last stand-up tour, a reference to that special’s routine on the New Year’s phrase ‘Gong Xi Fa Chai’.
Chieng released the short film, Ronny Chieng Takes Chinatown, on the ‘Netflix Is A Joke’ YouTube channel, receiving over 500,000 views in a week. Chieng’s star continues to rise in Hollywood with appearances on the big screen in the blockbusters Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (Marvel), Godzilla vs. Kong and Crazy Rich Asians.
His most recent television roles include features in Doogie Kamealoha, M.D. (with season two just announced), Young Rockand as well as his work as a regular correspondent on the Emmy Award winning, The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.
The tour will head to Brisbane’s Fortitude Music Hall on 24 March, the Canberra Theatre Centre on 25 March, Sydney’s State Theatre on 26 March and Melbourne’s Palais Theatre on 27 March.
Tickets on sale from 10am, Tuesday 15 February.
