  • 3 years ago
23-year-old comedian Qiqi is part of a new wave of young, female stand-up acts in China, breaking into a domain dominated by men. She is among those benefiting from a surge of interest in stand-up in China, thanks to a popular online show called Rock & Roast. Stand-up comedy, a Western import, began making inroads in China little more than a decade ago, and became popular in recent years.
