What’s more romantic than getting frisked and whisked away to a private room with four walls? Just you, border control and the awkward tension of questionable travel choices.
Charming, sharp and effortlessly funny, Lizzy Hoo turns life’s everyday moments into pure comedy gold. Deja Hoo is just that. Her mundane experiences with a magnetic punch. Spinning awkward encounters and cultural quirks into punchlines that hit hard and fast. Relatable, razor-witted and refreshingly real, Lizzy proves that she’s a master of finding the funny in the familiar.
Lonely and in need of companionship? Lizzy’s got you covered. Who needs a dog (though she does have one, greyhound and rescued), when there’s no limit to how far she can show you, that we could go for a little interaction.
Younger men? Way more exciting. Just ask Lizzy. Cougar, Hoogar or Dingo? Depends on which howl gets louder when she walks into the room and trust, she’s got them howling either way. Single in your 40’s and boring dates? Yeah, that’s not on her bingo card. Lizzy takes on some of her most committed relationships from deep connections with the barista, terrible coffee, zero sexual chemistry and similar interests. That’s marriage without the hassle. Open relationships? She can tell you all about it. Need a crash course on the difference between boyfriend dick and a single dick? Don’t worry, Lizzy’s got the breakdown and trust her, a home-cooked meal after a long trip away hits way better than trying a new Thai place, there’s no unexpected expectations.
Family heirlooms? By 80, that’s the kind of gifts our parents are expected to hand down. Not because they’re luxurious but, let’s be honest, they’re eventually circling back to the giver. Its practicality wrapped in sentiment with a dash of self-interest Asian efficiency. Why gift something purely going to turn sentimental when you can also ensure it’s an inheritance you’ll want to keep? Rest assured, very joke about Lizzy’s parents has been run past her toughest critic: her mum. And the real unhinged material? That’s exclusive content for Barbara only. So, if you’re curious if Barbara would rather be lying down under or setting up two-factor authentication, Lizzy’s got the answer.
And in true Lizzy fashion, it wouldn’t be a Lizzy Hoo show without a nod to the one and only Chan. The legend, the myth, the dad with unbeatable comedic stories. Just like how her dad’s got game, the Hoo household mirrors every classic Asian home. Built firmly on foundations of love, playful bullying and the occasional massage sessions. Physical touch? Often. Roasting each other mercilessly? Their love language. Every Lizzy Hoo set comes with a fresh chapter of Chan Hoo, and there’s a whole backlog on them.
Always slightly relatable, always hilariously unique and the kind of story the family will be laughing about for years to come. Exotic or just a unique kink? You’ll just have to call and book yourself a massage with Chan’s Massage.
Kink’s aside, Lizzy’s idea of a steamy fantasy isn’t what you’d expect. Forget red rooms and blindfolds. For her it’s all about the keys of a piano while serenading her lover to ‘I Want It That Way’ by the Backstreet Boys, at the Airbnb she booked. And honestly? We’re not here to judge, she’s got game. If embracing your inner boy band ballad diva that you mastered on a church instrument isn’t growth, what is?
Lizzy Hoo’s Deja Hoo is a light-hearted ride through life’s wonderfully awkward moments and its all-too-relatable encounters. With her signature charm and quirky lens, she navigates identity, expectations and everyday absurdities like a seasoned pro. Which probably explains why she was such a natural on Getaway, selling Australians their dream holiday. Now, she’s diving headfirst into her next era with zero shame and full of confidence.
Lizzy proves she’s hotter than any kink you can imagine. Just make sure to keep your phone charged, as you’re going to need that torch light for her final act.
Deja Hoo is featured as part of the 2025 Melbourne International Comedy Festival at The Victoria Hotel’s Banquet Room until April 20.
