Celebrated comedian and food enthusiast Jennifer Wong brings her highly anticipated new show, Salt & Pepper Squiz, to the intimate stage of Mary’s Underground for an exclusive Vivid Sydney 2026 debut. Fresh from a string of sold-out performances at major comedy festivals across Australia, Wong blends her signature sharp-witted stand-up with a deep-seated love for the stories that shape our plates.
Comedy Meets Regional Flavors
Inspired by her hit ABC series and book, Chopsticks or Fork?: Recipes and Stories from Australia’s Regional Chinese Restaurants, the evening is a multi-sensory celebration of Chinese-Australian food culture. This isn’t just a comedy set; it is a curated “funny food” experience where the audience can tackle life’s most pressing questions—such as the etiquette of shared plates—while enjoying a menu of bar snacks and cocktails directly inspired by the regional restaurants Wong visited on her travels.
New Stories from the Road
Since her journey across Australia, Wong has continued to document the heartwarming and often hilarious tales of local Chinese restaurant owners and the communities they serve. In this exclusive Vivid Sydney engagement, she will share several of these brand-new stories on stage for the first time.
A Must-See Performance
Unofficially dubbed “Australia’s queen of puns” by ABC Radio and hailed as “comedy gold” by The Age, Jennifer Wong offers a performance that is as insightful as it is irreverent.
Ticket Inclusions:
Entry to the exclusive debut of Salt & Pepper Squiz.
A curated selection of classic Chinese-Australian bar snacks.
Access to a bespoke Vivid-themed cocktail menu.
Whether you are a fan of regional food history, a comedy lover, or simply looking for the most unique night out in the CBD & Surrounds, this show is an essential highlight of the Vivid Food 2026 calendar.
