Thanks everyone for leaving such kind comments!

You are pretty funny!
You are very funny! Nice bit!
Were doing great at the start, kind of lost me a bit at the coupon bit. Just honest feedback, may not be true for everyone though.
Ohmegoodness! The coupon bit cracked me up. The only thing missing was the refence to garnering bad luck from being too greedy/cheap. 😅 Plenty to be proud of! ♡Loved it.
It was FUNNY 😂 Thanks for uploading it give me some nostalgia thanks 😊
She's hilarious! Can't believe this was a free show, that's unreal. Hope she has a long and successful career!
I agree!
Agreed!
In China, there is no free show... somehow, you paid for it... wait for it.
@@FirstLastOne wow！typical westerners once Again freedom freedom freedom Actually tickets for this kind of show sold out in one minute in BJ u never know it ...
Funny!!
the subtitles to explain the 4 vowels part, HIGHLY appreciated, loved the whole video !
100%
They're not vowels, they're tones. There are four tones in Mandarin, it's tonal. The same vowel Ma is pronounced four different ways: flat, rising, declining and u shaped toned!!!
English has tones, too - you just have to think about all the different ways you can use the F-word. ;)
@@weekendpartier Thai language has 5 different tones as well. The same word for a dog is the same for horse, but of course with a different tone! It also is a difficult language.
@@kevkoala Yeah, my Thai wife would run through the five tones of a word, then run through them in reverse, and I could not tell the difference forward or backward.
I'm glad she did this whole routine in English while filming it in Shanghai so I could appreciate it. This was really good. Hope to see more from her.
I am an English/Irish guy, my wife is Taiwanese and we have lived together in Taiwan for 11 years. I watched this because of the title. We both laughed so much, as we can totally relate to it. Thank you so much. I have subscribed and I am looking forward to laughing with you even more.😂
I don't know how this came in my feed but you girl stop calling yourself amature, you nailed it like a retired comedian. Every line is a punchline. This is so fresh, new and fantastic!!! ❤️ From India 🙌
Yes this is a professional level comedy set! I am sure she will have her own special very soon.
You're correct man, and I don't flatter.
Oh, and smart husband, especially at the end. LOL
Go away uoy teerts rettish
Amateur all the way.
"like a retired comedian"... is that sort of in the FoConchrds "part time model" vein?
As a Irish American who studied in China, these jokes really hit 😂
Born in Ireland?
your not irish though..she not talking about an american
@@lousassoul7344 more refering to my basic understanding of Chinese but thank you for gatekeeping. Gods work.
@@lousassoul7344 oooo make sure and tell every single African American that same thing and let us know how it goes for you! I'll be sure to visit your hospital room with flowers.
@@ominous5409 black Americans aren't African, their ancestors were.
Pure class, and from an Irishman! Thats a wicked sense of humor there, and you got a good handle on what it means to be Irish. Keep up the great work, you gave me a right giggle today!
Still hilarious 2 years later! Thank You! 🤣
"I told you to marry a RICH guy!"
"Awww, my bad. I thought you said 'IRISH guy'... You shouldn't speak with an accent when giving me marital advice, ma!"
She must be a dumb kid. She shoulda known better. Don't insult a mom.
Either that or this gotta be a really bad script. SH and CH are too distinctable too be funny.

@Poodrops , are you crazy ?
@@VirusForPrez I was thinking they were maybe just high or don't have great command of the English language, but I guess 'crazy' would explain it too. :)
LMFAOOOOOOOO
My Chinese daughter-in-laws mother was rather disapproving of the relationship with my son because he was younger than her daughter. Until he got a lucrative new job... then it was "when you getting married? " LOL!
😂
Considering she's your daughter-in-law, looks like your son married her after all!
What does he do
Lol Chinese parents always want to make sure their kids are with good partners and taken care of.
It’s understandable, poverty is real and we need love to be happy but we need money to live.
One of the best stand up comic performance I've ever seen. This was fresh. Too often the jokes are focusing awkwardly on genitals and sex and that's stupid and boring. Thank you Dawn.
Her sense of humour is top notch, pure natural... 👌
I'm a Chilean English teacher living in Tianjin. This is what I've been looking for! Chinese stand up comedy - I know it's not in Chinese completely but it helps to understand culture and I can relate to some of your stories. Thanks for uploading!
How come you don't teach Spanish? :)
@@IronCan88 My degree is in ESL. I could teach Spanish but at this point it feels more natural to teach English hah.
srsly!? r u sure that u r living in Tianjin! the capital city of traditional Chinese stand up comedy...
@@Charaznable9258 Do tell where to go!
@@DisasterEXE it'scalled “相声”。
I love when the RUclips algorithm just randomly surprises me with gold. This was a really funny, solid routine. Thanks for making it accessible to an English speaker with subtitles.
YES
I am Chinese, first time in this channel, I really love the jokes, i mean I don’t have a foreign partner but the jokes are so related. I laughed so hard😂
Thats what happened to me. Shes truly funny. I hate when I look for funny stand up and all I hear are cuss words no real jokes. I wasnt looking for comedy this time and this popped up so gladi clicked on it
I got taken here completely randomly today. I was not expecting to laugh so much.
FAAAAAACTS!
That was a very clean set. Usually female comedians arent this funny. That "ma" joke was hilarious
"I married an Irish guy."
"Oh, really?"
"No, O'Reilly."
The last joke about Bargaining was absolutely perfect, It had me cracking up the whole time. My aunty used to bargain like that all the time when we went shopping.
My wife is from hong kong she tries to bargain everything all the time. She is a savage.
Indians do too
That is truely indonesian thing when they do bargaining in the traditional market.
Walk away slowly and waiting to be called back 😆
The guy was secretly anti vacc , is the reality behind the story tho 😅
Her> "It's so small that sometimes we'd be driving out for like 4 hours and there is a donkey in the middle of the road."
Me, a Belgian> "What? You can drive for like 4 hours and still be in the country?"
:grins: I thought that too ... so I Googled the size of Ireland and, if you drove slow, you could do it :D
You would love Canada. I had a coworker who's mom wanted to come visit him: she figured she'd land in Toronto and just hop a train to Yellowknife. 🤣😂🤣😂
Canada will blow your mind.
@@dallassukerkin6878 It’s about 8-9 hours north to south. Google harder 😬😉
@@Dreyno I did say you'd have to drive slowly :D.
Come on, he had his usual whiskey and beers, now can't admit he's lost!
Billy lives on the neighbor's farm 😅
The "A rich guy" to "I-rish guy" was hilarious.Great routine!
You are hilarious and to do jokes that are funny in two languages is brilliant! I hope you are still going from strength to strength. I'll keep an eye out for your tour down under or Melbourne Comedy festival! Do it! 🙃
You made me laugh so hard, you're naturally hilarious ,"O mom I thought to marry Irish guy!"
That was a really good punchline lol
I said same
I'm British and my wife is from Guangzhou, China. You split my sides 😂 brilliantly executed. Please take my money, we are coming to your show!!!
I will try to remember Dawn Wang because that's all I can hope for at my age. She can tell a story with great timing & she's mastered the pause. She's really relatable & on point with all the obserdities like the Irish guy with good English. She hits the spot for me if only I can remember her name when I have the Yen.
or the yuan, as the case may be.
Loved this clip! You are hysterical...Your timing is amazing
This is genuinely hilarious! Lol the wedding speech makes sense now
That's what I thought 😂👍🏾
I just saw that video yesterday... when youtube algorithm works
I was pretty sure she was a comedian based on that wedding speech and a good one!
The situation when something is not funny.. U have to comment to "make others believe" It's funny..🤣
Is this like "ho let me support her just bcz she is a female" or is dis a paid advertisement?
@@joshuajames1998 Not sure what's up with you? Just because you don't like it doesn't mean no one is capable of enjoying it... Definitely when something is geared more towards Chinese audiences
Actually this pretty good. I can see she has a thorough line with her jokes, she just doesn't spit them out. She should keep going in her comedy.
Amazing, I just came here out of the blue and I like it. You have such a good talent!
Thank you for making me laugh.
Whishing all the best for you!
Good luck!
One of the best comedy acts I have ever seen! So funny, so clever and so well presented. Dawn is a fantastic comedian. Absolutely brilliant! I laughed and laughed and laughed! 👍🏻👍🏻
wow! I'm not Chinese, but this made me smile and laugh all throughout.
Good material. Great delivery. Love the confidence. All the best to you.
Very funny. As far as being influenced by your partner, it sounds like you’re more Irish than he is Chinese. The Irish know how to pick on each other!
"Taking the piss" and "slagging" is our National pastime ...
@@3storiesUp my mom’s from Galway, so I know the routine 😂
This is her way of getting back at her husband. 😂🤣
The bargaining is definitely an Irish thing too
@@HimWitDaHair98 and Chinese! That's why her punchline "I was so proud of him" was so great :-)
Hey Dawn, you're a natural comedian, you've great rhythm and every line was hilarious. Thanks for the laugh!
As an American having lived and worked in China for nearly a decade. Also married to a Chinese, my wife taught me how to haggle at the ladies market with the most ruthless of Da Jies!! Your material brings back many fond memories of my years abroad. : ) Wishing you great success in your comedy endeavors!!
I saw your wedding speech - excellent. And this was a really good set too. obviously it was geared toward a Chinese audience but still funny for me. I used to do standup myself, and I can say you are really good! By the way, 40 years ago in college, my friend tried to explain ma ma ma ma and I could never hear the difference! Apparently my mother is a horse.
😂
So, the rising tone Má, in pinyin. I think of the line that shows the tone, as grass growing out of the ground for HEMP. It sounds like a ❓
"Do you have má?"
Mā Is like a American kid calling for his mom to get her attention.
"Mom! Ma! Mama!" So, it's a higher whiney pitch for me.
Mǎ
I think of a person sitting on a saddle. Since there is curve on the back of a horse, this Mǎ, reminds me that there's a fall and a rise in the tone.
And mà, for the 4th tone, is like when you dropped your food that you've been craving all day, because a fucker didn't stop at a red light and you exclaim:
"DAMN!" WITH FORCE.
So 👇 goes the tone with force
I'm a student of the Chinese language and this is what helped me to remember MA.
Is she the one with the wedding speech of “too late to run away when on the aisle” lady?
That’s because you haven’t got a right teacher.
@@nicoleraheem1195 you should go to teach Chinese👍🏻
@@webman8423 You're yanking my chain aren't ya ?
As a Hong Konger who used to live in Beijing and Shanghai, and who has since married an Australian guy… you are HILARIOUS! Both of us were absolutely dying laughing at the 发票 and bargaining bits!
Aussie dude? Jackpot aye? 😅
Wow, this is one the funniest comedy shows I’ve watched on here, earned a sun 100%
Irish American and thought this was hysterical. She is a great comedienne. Relatively clean by today's standards which is a plus for me.
This Irishman, who has endured too many years of being told my Japanese is great after saying 'hello,' loved your video! 謝謝 Go raibh maith agat!
As a mixed kid who grew up in China with a Chinese mother and American father, I found this EXTREMELY hilarious. I almost died XD
Hello, I am an American dad raising my mixed 1year old son in China right now. Do you have any words of wisdom or perspective being the child of a dual culture family?

Loved the show! Watching from Australia
Randomly found this. This is brilliant. Hope you make it to the UK
I typed "Irish stand-up comedy". After a while of perusing RUclips, I land on this gem. Dawn is so talented. I laughed all the way through.
That was almost 8 minutes of absolute hilarity. Was this like a "foreigners club" in Shanghai? You should take this show on the road, pure gold :)
this is easily 1 of the best stand up routines I've ever had the pleasure of seeing. holy crap, I laughed through all of it. thanks for the subtitles, I would have missed some of it. If Dawn Wong ever does a US tour, I'm doing whatever I can to be there!
You're fabulous ! Keep up the good work!
"I tried and I tried and I tried and then I tried to kill him." Classic
as a foreigner (UK) that has learned/studied Chinese for 5 years, lived in China for 2 and graduated with a first-class in a Chinese based course, I can with CONFIDENCE say that my tones are still dogshit and I accept that xD. The part about the Chinese people saying that a foreigner Chinese is good even when it's one sentence and all over the place, spot on. 你太搞笑了，dawn加油。
Funny, this came up in my feed at dawn. You’re hilarious! Shei shei
I love these gems that show up on your feed from time to time. I’d love to see you perform in person hopefully you’d be in NYC soon!
More stand-up, please! This video & the wedding speech were so good 😂 Can’t wait for full show.
I thought she was familiar and I enjoyed her wedding speech also!!!! I was thinking she would be great at stand-up and here she is 😁
So relatable for me as a Swedish girl married to a chinese! Finally I learned to bargain like that when we lived in China and I think he was proud of that😂
Hvor bor du?
Is he romantic? Heard they are pretty rigid 🤔
W,×West w
@@jakesimp3583 rigid.. compared to swedes? lol
@@jakesimp3583 chinese men and women being romantic is not part of the culture
That was great. I found this totally by accident and she kept me laughing. Subscribed Thanks for the laughs. I saw Irish and Chinese I knew it had to be good.
Your english is so good...🤣🤣🤣
RUclips again randomly hands me something I need in my feed. I was laughing so hard! 😂 I think my favorite part was about the bargaining 😂
Who is here after watching her speech at their wedding on FB?
🙋♀️
👍 me

anyone have a link?
I am a first and a half generation Australian Chinese and my daughter was born in Australia. We only speak
Mandarin and Cantonese at home and I teach her every bit of Chinese culture I inherited from my parents and grandparents! You are so funny, keep up the good work!
I have no idea how this got into my RUclips feed, BUT I AM GLAD IT DID! Dawn you are amazingly funny!
Dawn, you are hilarious. Kudos in so many ways on the performance!
as an IRISHMAN i can truly say that was really top class, your a natural girl
She's my favourite female comedian now. She is really funny, but with no bitter side-flavour, no vengefulness, or unnecessary harshness.
Bitter vengeful harshness are hallmarks of Zionist psychopathy.
What of Ali Wong?
You sound slow
A refreshing, imaginative, fun cross-culture romp.
I don't usually like stand up comedy shows and stuff like this but you deserve a 10, that was fun original and elegant! Well done
OMG this was so funny! I just stumbled across you somehow and am delighted! I'm an Italian Canadian girl and I lived in China for a year and a half some years ago, and not only could I relate to so much of what you were saying, but it brought back some pretty awesome memories too! Thanks for that and most especially, the laughs!😂Well done. 🙌
You should do more of this! You're funny and fun to watch!
I only came across your wedding speech video while scrolling facebook and glad someone commented the link to this one!
Thank you!
Me too!
Ur Amazingly hilarious Dawn 😀 Congratulations 🍾🎉 on ur Wedding 😀🤗🍾🥂
Me too! I like her humor, I want her to be my bff 😁😁😁
@@dawneythechinese just stumbled across this video n you were really good - best of luck
What's wrong with the skin of your arm😅😅
I am your new Chinese fan. When I found you, I was worried that I could not understand the talk show because of my poor language skills. When I watched it later, I found it was perfectly fine and I understood your meme perfectly. I laughed so hard!🤣LOVE YOU！
She's crazy great! I laughed all the way ! Dawn Wong, you're Awesome! 3 !
You're great! Getting up in front of a crowd doing stand up comedy really takes a lot of guts. It scares the hell out of most of us. Glad to see a comedy scene is still occurring in China. I left Beijing 4 years ago, loved it.
i really wanted to learn chinese when i was a kid in malaysia.
my dad's boss invited me to his office and told me that he would teach me hokkian. but the fact he taught me english and no single chinese word he taught me that time. he told me the truth when I was about to move back to Indonesia, that he actually couldn't speak chinese because he was a japanese.
haha ... that is hilarious .. you bit of a comedian yourself ... or maybe your dad's boss is
@@dannyslammy4379 may be my dad's boss is. haha
😭😭😭😭
Omg. That's the best.
This is funny!
Dawn太有才了，笑死我了。Dawn is so talented. I was laughing death.
Seriously so funny 🤣 omfg I love how you cater to your audience it was amazing. (Thanks for translation texts ❤️}
This show was a rare treat for me. Well done. Although I am a man the bits about being "31" and "sold" hit home. My late mother called me once and anxiously asked "What have you done? Your wife called me and asked if the warranty was still good?" - 25 years after we were married! We have four half Irish grandchildren but we love them anyway. You get used to it. I mean them. Keep up the good work.
As Chinese living in US, you just make me laughing 😂 all line hit points! OMG ! You should go for talk show !!
some of this went over my head, but I have enough Chinese friends to get most of it. You are hilarious!
So funny! Definitely subscribed
She is OUTSTANDING! I could relate to her poor husband on so many levels…
An amateur? Seriously? You're awesome! I laughed, A LOT! Cheers from Israel
Absolutely brilliant. I will look up more of your stuff Dawn. Fun light hearted content and really well delivered.
your great Dawn, keep cranking out the material !
Never heard of Dawn. She is top class. Great delivery. Very smooth, confident and funny.

🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂👏👏👏 so glad youtube recommended your wedding speech video to me. Love your fresh funny take on life. Hope you upload more videos of your Stand ups.
This is really funny🤣🤣. I really enjoy it. Thank for the show
Wonderful material, great timming, I'd definitely pay to see her do stand-up.
THat bargain- walk away scene was halarious 😂😂
The person that laughs at 2:46 and throughout the whole skit got me cracked up the entire time xD loved your work. Keep up!! Saludos de chile
Everyone who hits the timestamp 02:46 after that
That was actually funny. Right on. I will check this free comedy thing out.
I don't usually comment on random videos, but when I read the tagline -- wow... you're an amateur?! I can just hear you saying "Nali, nali" to all these comments. But seriously, this was really good. Makes me miss Shanghai ...
I like comedy like this. She didnt talk bad about herself, she didnt talk bad about anyone else
Just her husband
These joke do no harm to human..that's the label down below..
Im 90 seconds in and she has been doing nothing other than that. But that IS pretty common in comedy. But i dont get how you can write that she doesnt do the only damn thing she actually does : P
In tears watching this 😂 love from ireland 🇮🇪 🥃
Why would you cry though?
Really funny. I didn't think I'd last the entire 8 minutes but then couldn't stop watching.
Those jokes are really hilarious hahaha. Thanks for making my Saturday evening.
You have a great future in stand up comedy for sure, the set up and punchlines are just lit! 🔥
Very original and very funny. Had me laughing the whole time. Great set!!
The walking away move after a hard bargain almost always works🤣🤣🤣
You are better than a lot other stand up comedians, oh my tears…
That counting part was relatable, when I was in China, I absolutely loved this concept of counting in one hand. 😅
PS : For me too all the 4 tones sounded the same. 😂😂😂
I could discern the different tones (probably because I’m a musician) but I bet I’d have a *much* harder time if I was trying to learn Chinese and the tones were coming at me in a larger mix than just the same syllable repeated 4 times.
@@howlinhobbit Absolutely. When I was learning Chinese these 4 tones were so similar that I accepted my failure in the subject in a very early stage. 😅😂
I can totally understand the tone thing. I am Filipino and we have this sort of thing in our language too, the famous one being "Bababa ba?" which means "Is there anyone alighting the vehicle?"
Cantonese has 9 tones.
It does driving me gone crazy even more because just a tiny slight slip of pronunciation, meaning goes off like a Milky Way galaxy ROFL
nooo as a language student... the lesson is Invaluable. need to repeat One Thousand Times.... each "tone".
Great set from Dawn and her wedding speech is a classic. When the Chinese tennis star Li Na won the Australian Open major tennis title in 2014 she delivered an unexpectedly funny acceptance speech. It's worth checking out. She provided her husband with some "feedback" in the same manner as Dawn.
What's with the "Ireland is small" vibe? On one of her first visits to Ireland my Canadian sister-in-law commented "Gee....your country is so small it could fit into one of our lakes".
With this bit, you won't be amateur for long! Great stuff!
I don’t know how this got into my feed but it’s fantastic
Oh my, I just watched her brilliant, hilarious wedding speech RUclips and I was like:" she should do stand-up". and then the next thing is I am watching this.
Same… how I ended up here :)
This Chinese Lady is hilarious, love from Ghana 🇬🇭
Excellent set.
