Elisha Tan: Work in Progress (Singapore Edition)

Singapore’s own Elisha Tan is back from the US with a new comedy show she’s building for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026 (yes, she’s kiasu — of course she’s Singaporean). Expect jokes she’s tested across the world plus brand-new material, all raw, unpredictable, and hilarious.

Known for her quick wit and infectious energy, Elisha dives into American culture shocks, Asian stereotypes, and the joys (and chaos) of family life — stories that hit home whether you grew up here or abroad.

She made history as the first Singaporean to headline the iconic Punch Line San Francisco, a club where legends like Dave Chappelle, Robin Williams, Wanda Sykes, and Ali Wong regularly perform.

She’s performed across the USA, Germany, Ireland, Scotland, the UK, and Singapore, lighting up clubs like the Laugh Factory, Cobb’s Comedy Club, and Broadway Comedy Club, with festival credits include the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Asian Comedy Fest, and Loons on the Lake Comedy Festival. Featured on Tatler Asia, Channel News Asia, CNBC, and The Straits Times — Elisha is funny, sharp, and absolutely legit.

This one-night-only work in progress show has something for everyone:

✨ Fresh new material as she shapes her 2026 Fringe show

✨ Some local favorites you already love

✨ Crowdwork that might just put you in the spotlight

✨ Audience Q&A so you can crowdwork her instead

✨ Local comics making special guest appearances

✨ Tasty alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages for purchase

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to laugh at Asian stereotypes, American oddities, and your own family drama all at the same show — this is the show for you. Come ready to laugh, reflect, and maybe even become part of the show.
