Comedian Jennifer Wong’s The Sweet and Sour Hour of Power tackles fitness and wellbeing trends in a quest to manage her depression.

In pursuit of a sense of vitality while managing her depression, comedian and food enthusiast Jennifer Wong (ABC’s Chopsticks or Fork?) road-tests the latest fitness and wellbeing trends so that you don’t have to. It’s the show for anyone who’s ever been asked, “Have you tried yoga?” As seen and heard on The Cook Up (SBS), Celebrity Letters and Numbers (SBS), Thank God It’s Friday (ABC Radio Sydney), and Chat 10 Looks 3.

Please note this event has been rescheduled from Saturday 15 June and will now be presented on Thursday 24 October.

#Reviews

“With disarming ease and a talent for misdirection, Wong’s routine hits comedy gold time and time again.”

The Age

“A quick-flowing hour of self-deprecating, hilariously absurd situational stand-up. There’s something deeply moving and human beneath her non-stop humour.”

InDaily

“Jennifer Wong talks; raucous laughter ensues.”
