Vinny Shiu

Vinny Shiu is an award-winning London-based stand-up comedian in his 20s who combines comedy songs with stories and jokes to highlight his unique upbringing: growing up in the West as part of an East Asian family.

With his act including observational humor about cultural differences between East and West, Vinny hilariously dives into identity, family drama, dating disasters, trauma, and finding his path in life amongst the challenges of growing up with traditional Asian parents, and the identity crisis that comes with looking different from his peers.

His sharp jokes, immersive storytelling, and musical comedy, his dynamic performances leave audiences buzzing. Winner of Southampton Comedian of The Year 2023 and Finalist British Comedian of The Year 2024.

Vinny Shiu offers a wealth of potent material about growing up in what seemed to be the only ethnic family in Portsmouth, playfully exploring his desire to fit in - focussed, insightful and gag-rich.
