As seen on Fisk and the Melbourne International Comedy Gala, Ting Lim brings her debut hour Foreign Object — a sharp, joke-dense stand-up show that’s unapologetically funny.

Born in Singapore and now based in Australia, Ting has spent years feeling slightly out of place in both. That outsider perspective fuels the comedy — but this is not a lecture on identity. Foreign Object is an hour of dry observations, personal stories, and brutally honest punchlines about relationships, family expectations, bureaucracy, and the quiet absurdities of modern life.

Ting’s comedy is smart without being preachy, dark without being alienating, and always grounded in laughs. You don’t need to share her background to recognise the situations — the humour comes from being the odd one out.

Developed and tested across major comedy festivals and clubs in Australia and internationally, Foreign Object is a tightly structured 50-minute showcase of Ting’s strongest material. While this is her debut hour, it reflects years of live performance and careful refinement.

Audiences and critics have praised Ting’s sharp writing and commanding stage presence:

★★★★

— The West Australian

“Fast becoming one of Australia’s hottest comedians”

— Brisbane Stage

“Laughter that hurts your cheeks”

— X-Press Magazine

If you enjoy stand-up that’s intelligent, incisive, and relentlessly funny — without ever feeling like homework — Foreign Object delivers laughs first and insight by accident.
