Brendan Goh: Gay First, Chinese Second

Join comedian Brendan Goh for a candid and hilarious exploration of identity, culture, and belonging. Blending sharp observational humour with heartfelt storytelling, Brendan navigates the intersections of being gay, Chinese, and Malaysian — all while growing up Down Under.

Expect laughter, light-hearted self-deprecation, and a few eyebrow-raising moments as he unpacks family dynamics, dating misadventures, and the awkwardness of straddling multiple worlds. This show is perfect for anyone who’s ever felt a little out of place — and is okay with laughing about it.

Content advisory: This performance includes sexual references, discussions of homophobia, fatphobic language, and brief nudity. Recommended for mature audiences 18+.

Part of Feast Festival — Adelaide’s premier LGBTQIA+ arts and culture celebration — this show invites you to lean in, laugh out loud, and celebrate the messy, beautiful complexity of queer identity.
