Award-winning comedian and professional poker player Ken Cheng is back on tour! He brings you his new show, "The Big Brain Show for People with 3,000 IQ”, where he talks about being silenced and cancelled by the industry for having such a big brain. Expect lots of maths, graphs, tests of mental agility and Ken talking about his really niche special interests for a couple hours. This promises to be the stupidest "clever" show imaginable.

 

You may have heard Ken on his BBC Radio 4 series "Chinese Comedian", for which he won a BBC Audio Drama Award in 2023 for Best Comedy, and "I Can School You", where he fixed the education system. Now, watch him live as he fixes all of the world's problems with his megamind-like intelligence.
