Jiaoying Summers is a comedian who blends fearless, dark humor with a deeply personal and refreshingly global perspective. Born in China and now based in Los Angeles, she turns cultural clashes, immigrant identity, and motherhood into razor-sharp comedy that resonates across continents. With over 1 billion views online and a loyal fanbase of 4+ million followers, Summers’ content regularly goes viral—most notably her “Uber Karen” sketch and her irreverent takes on English names by roasting their meaning in Chinese.
Summers made history as the first Chinese comedian to headline the iconic Apollo Theater in 2023 in New York City. She was also inducted into the Asian Hall of Fame. She is the host of the podcast Tiger Mom, where she connects with fans and guests on a more personal level. She is currently on her international tour, “Jiaoying: What Specie Are You?,” having just wrapped a 27-show, 20-day run across 9 cities throughout Asia and Australia—all sold out, she is now onto her U.S. leg of the tour.
Whether on stage, online, at home as a mom, or CEO of Summers Group, Summers brings an unfiltered, modern, and global comedic voice that resonates with Gen Z & Boomers alike, as her comedy blends immigrant identity, dark humor, and viral social commentary.
