Lee Sang Jun has spent over twenty years as a household name in Korea, and after a run of sold-out dates at home he has been touring North America — which is how a Queens College auditorium ends up with one of Korea's most recognizable comics on it. The set is observational and story-driven, built on relationships, family and cultural friction, with real audience interaction. If you speak Korean, this is the rarest comedy ticket in the five boroughs this weekend.
What to expect
An intimate stand-up format in a large campus auditorium: observational material, extended personal stories, character work and direct audience interaction, running about 70 minutes. The performance is delivered entirely in Korean with no translation.
Good to know
- Performed entirely in Korean and designed for Korean-speaking audiences — there is no English translation
- Runs approximately 70 minutes with no listed interval
- Colden Auditorium is on the Queens College campus in Flushing; the Q25, Q34, Q64 and Q88 buses serve the campus and there is on-site parking
- This is a visiting-presenter booking rather than a Kupferberg Center season show, so it is a one-off date
- A large seated auditorium rather than a club, so it suits families and groups
