About Elisha Tan

Elisha Tan is a San Francisco–based comedian who made history as the first Singaporean to headline the iconic Punch Line San Francisco. Described as fun, quirky, and "a waste of money sending her to college" (a direct quote from her mum), Elisha turns the absurdity of navigating expectations placed on Asian women into sharp, deeply relatable, and slightly unhinged comedy.

Her work has taken her across the U.S., Singapore, Germany, Ireland, Scotland, and the U.K., with performances at renowned clubs including the Laugh Factory, Cobb's Comedy Club, and Broadway Comedy Club, as well as major festivals such as the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and Asian Comedy Fest. She has also worked with Dave Attell and Ahmed Ahmed.
