Bron's critically acclaimed show 'Probably' sold out in Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide and Brisbane, scoring her a nomination for Melbourne International Comedy Festival's 'Best Newcomer' for 2023.

"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 strong passion for drinking, cursing and gambling.
Turns out it was the perfect setting to start a life in stand-up comedy, and after travelling the 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.

strong solo debut. ★★★1 /2" -

"...with
a breadth of material that keeps things interesting... this is a quietly
impressive debut.
