Chinese stand-up makes hit US debut

Zhou Libo, a Chinese stand-up comedian who is famous for his iconic "Shanghai-style small talk", made his debut on Friday night at New York's Carnegie Hall.

The show, Sing Our Generation's Songs, Tell My Own Jokes, was the first time a Chinese stand-up comedian took the stage at one of the world's most renowned venues, which was built in 1890.

"I have been to New York many times, but it is my first time to perform in this city," Zhou said before kicking off his one-man show.
