The new tour will see him return to the stage across Sydney, Melbourne, Hobart, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Auckland.
Technology is the debut season of Chen’s latest stand-up hour, a show that, in keeping with its title, is about technology. Known for his deadpan delivery, surreal observational style, and quietly escalating absurdity, Chen has carved out a space in comedy that is unmistakably his own.
Since emerging onto the Australian comedy scene in 2017, Chen has built a rapid and internationally recognised career. He has performed multiple sold-out festival seasons and earned widespread critical acclaim, alongside major industry recognition including the Melbourne International Comedy Festival’s Best Newcomer (2017), Director’s Choice (2019), and a nomination for Best Show (2021). In 2024, he received the MICF People’s Choice Award for highest ticket sales.
Beyond stand-up, Chen’s screen work has further expanded his profile. His Adult Swim special A Life in Questions (2021) earned an AACTA nomination for Best Short Form Comedy Special and led to development opportunities with Adult Swim/Warner Media. His 2022 special If It Weren’t Filmed, Nobody Would Believe has since amassed close to two million views on YouTube. Most recently, Funny Garden premiered on Netflix, marking a significant international milestone in his career.
Chen returns to his home soil in 2026 at the top of his game to debut Technology, giving audiences a chance to see one of Australia’s most in‑demand comedians live.
