Who we are

Welcome to JokeUp—where Guangzhou comes to unplug and laugh together.
We started with a simple idea: swap doom-scrolling for belly laughs. Today, we run English stand-up nights, improv jams, and special events that turn strangers into a crowd and a crowd into a community.

We’re proud to be Guangzhou’s largest—and among the first—English stand-up comedy clubs, and we’ve shared that energy in Foshan and Shenzhen too. Whether you’re a first-timer or a comedy regular, you’ll find a welcoming room, sharp comics, and that electric, can’t-stream-it feeling you only get at live shows.

Our purpose

  • Get people off their phones and into real life

  • Help everyone socialize, laugh, and enjoy the beauty of life

  • Break the routine—because your week deserves a plot twist

At JokeUp, you don’t just watch a show—you become part of it. Come solo or bring friends; either way, you’ll leave lighter than you arrived.

What we do

  • English Stand-Up Nights – Polished showcases and rowdy open mics

  • Improv & More – Crowd-powered games, themed nights, surprise formats

  • Pop-Up Tours – Taking the laughs to Foshan, Shenzhen, and beyond

Why it matters

Scrolling is easy. Connection is better.
We make it effortless to meet people, discover local talent, and enjoy the kind of night you can’t replay later.

Values

Real connection. Playfulness without pretension. Community first. Consistent quality.
