Monica Hsueh

Picture a whirlwind of razor-sharp wit wrapped in an irresistible 'big Asian sister' energy—that's the Monica Hsueh experience. This Taiwanese-British powerhouse transforms migration, identity, and messy life moments into gut-busting gold with her bold bravado and fearless storytelling. A semi-finalist at BBC New Comedy Awards 2025 and finalist for both British Comedian of the Year and Leicester Square Theatre New Comedian, Monica's offbeat punchy style has won hearts across the UK's finest stages. Moving from Taiwan to the UK at just 13 with limited English, she discovered laughter as the bridge between cultures—a discovery that evolved from an open-mic dare into a dynamic stage presence. Now she commands rooms from The Comedy Store to The Bill Murray Angel with self-deprecating charm and empowering life tips that resonate with women and the LGBTQ+ community while delighting everyone else too. Her Strong Woman sketch series has racked up millions of views online, while her solo show How to Be a Strong Woman in One Hour has been packing out The Coach House Piccadilly since July 2025, extended twice by popular demand. Featured on BBC and TEDx, with appearances on Netflix, AppleTV, and Disney+, this favourite on the Comedy Boat since 2024 brings infectious energy, dating disasters, and sisterly wisdom to every performance.
