Emerging stand-up comedian “Fang Zhuren” (房主任), known for her breakout performance on the second season of “Comedy King: Stand-up,” is facing a classic supply-and-demand problem as her nationwide tour, “Fang Zhuren’s Headline Show,” kicks off. Tickets for the shows, priced at a modest 80 yuan, have been snatched up rapidly across multiple cities, leading to a surge in scalper activity.
Fang Zhuren took to her social media channels, visibly emotional, to plead with fans to avoid purchasing tickets from scalpers. “Please don’t waste your money,” she urged. “If you can’t get tickets, I’ll add more shows. As many as I possibly can. Please, don’t buy overpriced tickets.”
The issue? Resale prices have skyrocketed, with scalpers reportedly asking upwards of 1000 yuan for tickets that originally cost under $12 USD. “Trust me,” she stated, “nobody’s money grows on trees. Tickets should cost what they cost. Don’t put yourselves under financial pressure just to support me.” This plea underscores the fine line many performers walk between capitalizing on rising popularity and ensuring their art remains accessible to all.
Fang Zhuren, hailing from Linyi, Shandong province, has quickly gained traction for her relatable and heartfelt comedic style. Her performance on “Comedy King: Stand-up Season 2” resonated with audiences due to her unique way of sharing personal stories and reflections.
Beyond the laughs, Fang Zhuren emphasizes the therapeutic power of stand-up. “I used to think stand-up was just about making people laugh,” she explains. “But doing this, I’ve discovered that it’s a release for me, a way to let go. By telling these stories, over and over, I find the emotions fade. I’m left with a sense of compassion, and I’ve come to terms with life. It’s a rebirth, like a dream.”
