JIN HAO LI
Jin Hao Li was nominated for a Best Newcomer at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards for his debut hour, "Swimming in a Submarine".
​
Made in China and marinated in Singapore, Jin Hao is a comedy writer, and performer. Loved and feared for his dry wit, gritty softness, and surreal energy, he quickly became a Chortle Student Finalist, BBC New Comedy Awards Finalist, and was accepted into the Pleasance Comedy Reserve 2023.
​
As an accomplished actor, he was nominated for Best Actor at the National Youth Film Awards back home, but lost to someone more handsome and better at acting. His debut international role was in the Singaporean feature Tomorrow Is a Long Time (2023), which premiered at the 73rd Berlin International Film Festival.
