Eman Lam (Chinese: 林伊汶) is a Hong Kong dancer, singer, comedian and painter. She is the founder and artistic director of Le Jeu dance and Stand Up HK comedy companies.[1] In 2016, she started a stand-up comedy platform called Stand Up HK 香港是但噏 - the only English and Cantonese stand up company in Hong Kong for local comedians.[2]

Background

Lam was classically trained since she was four, and the Royal Academy of Dance (London) Honor Award Winner for Ballet from 1995 to 2000.[3] Lam taught herself to paint and at the age of 16 went to United States for university. She currently performs, teaches and choreographs dance.[4] She has been working as a full-time painter at her home studio and planning her solo exhibition in mid-2018.

With Le Jeu Dance established Lam has focused on comedy with an emphasis on stand-up performance. She has been performing stand-up comedy in both English and Cantonese since 2012.

In 2016, Lam set up a stand-up comedy platform called Stand Up HK (香港是但噏),[5] the only English and Cantonese stand up company in Hong Kong for local comedians.[6]

On 5 August 2017, Lam performed her first One Woman Show in both English, Cantonese (and a little bit in Mandarin as well), back to back. Every one of Lam's performances is different and she frequently ends her shows with some comedy parody.[7][8]
