IN THE PRESS

“Nigh has made an explosive entrance onto the international comedy circuit. Whether he’s riffing on cultural expectations, queer identity, or the absurdities of everyday life, Nigh’s comedy blends vulnerability, insight, and hilarity with a voice that feels both fresh and deeply necessary. His perspective as a queer Asian-American performer is central to his work, and he’s not afraid to tackle tough conversations – often through a punchline that lands with both humor and heart.” - Denny Patterson for Instinct Magazine
“The first time I saw Jonah Nigh perform was at Downtown Comedy Lounge in Las Vegas, and the moment he walked onstage, I knew I was watching someone whose presence couldn’t be taught. His energy was vibrant, fun, and completely infectious, one of those rare performers who can command a room just by being himself." -  Lyne Na for The Comedy Reviewers
