About this show
There is no punching up or down for her as the East Infection will come and get everyone. Not clean, not safe, not left and not right, but all coming from the right place of heart! Geopolitical darkness + shameless personal stories about sex, social issues, politics, religion and relationships coming from a queer immigrant = chaos and nonsense and laughs. Having grown up in China and lived in the United States, Yoky spreads funny germs one European city at a time. 'Sharp-witted, quick-tongued, edgy and 100% hilarious. Expect the unexpected with Yoky!' (A British White Lady).

We have captured 2 published reviews and 7 audience reviews for this show from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe’s own listing. The excerpts below are the reviewers’ words, not ours — follow each link for the full review.
In this curious venue with aircraft-style seating (all very much economy), she creates a controlled anarchy as she facilitates an audience therapy session liberally sprinkled with smut and silliness. Drawing from her…
— British Theatre Guide (4 out of 5 stars)
Yoky brings a whiff of fully unrestrained humour in a stand-up built upon the lovely combination of filthy sex stories and geopolitical commentary. Expect unfiltered, unapologetic, absolutely dirty audience work.
