“Lewis has a skilful, natural delivery, in control of her material and
holding the audience rapt
without seeming to make an effort.” Chortle
“Hilarity and humanity - a joy to behold.” Sammy J
"Bron is the whole package: smart, relatable, hilarious and adorable. It
shouldn't be
allowed.' Ellen Briggs
He Huang grew up in a small town of Chongqing, China, a
mountainous region, where her family
had lived for generations with a

world - uni in Beijing, a Masters in
Washington DC - she found herself in Australia. In 2021, she
auditioned
for RAW Comedy, Australia's premiere new talent contest,
winning state finalist for
Victoria before performing in the national
final at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
However, it would be another audition that put He on the comedy map...
In 2022, He auditioned for the TV show, Australia's Got Talent,
with her stand up
routine becoming a viral sensation, with over 60
million views globally.

impressive debut.
