Peter Liu Headlining Off Cabot Comedy and Events
Peter Liu is a Boston-based stand-up comic with a passport full of stamps and a set full of punchlines. Raised in China, Australia, New Zealand and New Jersey (yes, really), Peter brings an outsider’s eye and an insider’s charm to every stage he steps on.
His comedy mixes sharp observations, wild family stories, and just the right amount of chaos. Whether he’s roasting cultural norms, navigating the dating world, or unpacking life with his wonderfully weird relatives, Peter keeps the crowd laughing and guessing the whole way through.
He’s performed at top venues like The Wilbur, The Gramercy, Don’t Tell Comedy, The Comedy Store, Laugh Factory, Laugh Boston and more. He’s also hit festivals across the country—from SF Sketchfest and New York Comedy Festival to Boston, Boulder and Rogue Island. Along the way, he’s opened for renowned acts like Ronny Chieng and Jason Leong.
Basically, if you like your comedy, smart, personal, and a little unhinged—Peter’s your guy.
