Vivek 的興趣之一是閱讀，而他最喜愛的書籍是《孫子兵法》。有趣的是，他最喜歡的顏色竟然是亮粉紅色。
Vivek Mahbubani is a Hong Kong-bred bilingual stand-up comedian performing in both Cantonese and English.
Having been crowned the Funniest Person (in Chinese) in Hong Kong in 2007 followed by his victory in the English category at the Hong Kong International Comedy Competition in 2008, Vivek has had the opportunity to take his sense of humor all over the world.
Having been ranked as the top comedian in Hong Kong, in 2014, the World Famous Laugh Factory in USA ranked Vivek as one of the top 10 comedians in their Annual Funniest Person in the World Competition.
In 2015, he was handpicked as one of the comedians to represent Asia’s best in Melbourne International Comedy Festival’s inaugural “Comedy Zone Asia” shows while in 2016, he was featured in Comedy Central’s first ever “Stand up Asia!”.
He also became one of the recipients of the 2018 Hong Kong Ten Outstanding Young Persons (TOYP) Selection Award.
One of Vivek’s passions is reading and his favorite book is Sun Tzu’s Art of War. Oddly, his favorite color is hot pink.
節目簡介:
有十多年經驗做棟篤笑表演的阿V, 在香港被視為「藝人」及「榜樣」。
雖然這個身份有時會為他帶來一些好處, 但同時阿V也需要在別人的眼光及期待下生活。
他每日照鏡子看著髮線漸漸退後的時候, 會一邊尋找做「藝人」及「普通人」之間的平衡, 一邊笑著反思這個身份帶來的各種荒謬趣事。
這場表演是100%用廣東話演繹。
About the show:
After performing Cantonese comedy for over a decade, Vivek is viewed as both a ‘celebrity’ and ‘role-model’ in his community in Hong Kong. As much as this status brings a lot of perks, it also has its troubles where people expect him to be a certain way at all times.
Vivek’s adventure to find the perfect balance of stardom and staring at the mirror watching his hairline recede has brought about challenges that he both loves and hates at the same time.
This show is 100% performed in Cantonese.
All proceeds go towards supporting the Cantonese Language Program at UBC and HK House.
門票扣除製作成本後收益將全數撥捐卑詩大學粵語課程及香港屋。
