About Jason

"Jason Leong is one of the best new comedians in Malaysia" - Harith Iskander

The year 2014 was groundbreaking for Dr. Jason Leong as he successfully spread his brand of comedy well beyond Malaysia’s shores. After becoming the first Malaysian to win the 7th Annual International Hong Kong Comedy Festival, he then became the first Malaysian to perform a full professional set at Laugh Factory in Hollywood, USA and Gotham Comedy Club in New York. All these were against a backdrop of sold-out performances in Sri Lanka, Hong Kong, Singapore and Dubai.

Then in October, Dr. Jason Leong performed in what he fondly remembers as ‘the best night of my life’ as the opening act for Harith Iskander’s To Know Malaysia is To Laugh Malaysia in front of 9,000 people at the sold-out Stadium Putra, Bukit Jalil. It was also the first English stand-up comedy show to be broadcasted on Astro First, Pay Per View.

Dr. Jason also has huge presence in corporate endeavours, writing and performing in online ads for Alliance Bank, McDonalds and Kronenbourg, to name a few. His most memorable ad was with Anlene Malaysia, where alongside Aishah Sinclair, he scaled Mount Kinabalu for their #StretchYourLimits campaign. Most recently, Dr. Jason’s monthly show, Comedy Kao Kao was sponsored by Tiger Radler, a subsidiary of Guiness Anchor Berhad (Malaysia).
