Lizzy Hoo is many things – a comedian, presenter, writer, noodle enthusiast, designer, ideas lady, actor, rugby lover, and rescue greyhound owner.
Lizzy first tried stand-up in 2017, originally as a way to gain more self-confidence. It went pretty well – She quickly found herself an NSW State Finalist in the national RAW Comedy competition. The very next year she was invited to perform at the Just For Laughs Festival at the Sydney Opera House.
She was thankfully dealt a dose of humility as she was booed off stage by a 12-year-old niece at that year’s Hoo Family Christmas Talent Show. Brutal.
Her 2019 debut stand-up show Hoo Am I? (What’s My Name?) saw Lizzy introduce herself to the world, discussing her Chinese Malaysian/Irish Australian mixed-race heritage, and most notably her one-of-a-kind father (and premier Brisbane ukulele personality) Chan.
Lizzy is a master of mining her life and her family into material that leaves audiences left wanting more. This hilarious, self-assured, observational-style has resonated with comedy-goers around the world, with Lizzy’s stand-up clips garnering millions of views online.
In 2021, she packed houses across the country for her sell-out festival show Hoo Dis?. She received rave reviews and put on a rather ridiculous number of extra shows to meet demand. Hoo Dis? is now available to watch on Prime Video.
She has not slowed down in 2023, with her latest show Woo Hoo! being a breakout of the Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney Comedy Festivals.
Lizzy has appeared on Have You Been Paying Attention?, The Project and The Cook Up with Adam Liaw and has been a presenter and contributor for websites such as SBS Voices & ABC Life.
