London-based stand-up Adam Hopkins’ work in progress show about how growing up with a deaf brother gave him a fascination with language and communication and helped him deal with the language barrier when he moved to Shanghai, China, for a new job.

Hopkins performs at London’s top clubs such as Top Secret, Backyard, and The Bill Murray and opened for Kyle Kinane as part of Kinane’s 2025 UK tour. He has been featured by Comedy Central, and has written for VICE, Time Out, BBC Radio 4, and The Guardian.
