Jiaoying Summers

Born in China and now based in Austin, Texas, she transforms cultural clashes, immigrant identity, marriage, and motherhood into razor-sharp comedy that resonates with audiences around the world.

With over 2 billion views across social media and a fanbase of more than 5 million followers, Jiaoying has become one of the most recognisable Asian comedians working today. In 2023, she made history as the first Chinese comedian to headline the iconic Apollo Theater in New York City and was inducted into the Asian Hall of Fame, cementing her place as a groundbreaking cultural force.

Named one of Variety's "10 Comics to Watch" in 2025, Jiaoying released her debut stand-up special, What's Species Are You?, on Hulu and Disney+ — recognised by the Los Angeles Times as one of the Best Comedy Specials of 2025. She's also the host of the hit podcast Tiger Mommy, where her magnetic personality and unfiltered conversations have built an even deeper connection with her audience.

Fresh off her sold-out international What's Species Are You? tour — which played across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia — Jiaoying continues to captivate audiences worldwide with her bold, authentic voice. Whether she's on stage, online, behind the microphone, raising three children, or running her comedy club, she brings a fearless, modern perspective that connects with Gen Z, Millennials, and Boomers alike. Her unique blend of immigrant experiences, dark humor, and viral social commentary has made her a global comedy phenomenon—and one of the most exciting live performers working today.
