He has also hosted or opened for a long list of visiting international comics, including Tom Cotter, Paul Ogata, Tom Segura, Ruben Paul, Barry Hilton and Ari Shaffir.

He also likes to engage the audience, so if you're sitting up front, be ready to chat.
Pete has been performing improv (short form, free form and long form) for over 9 years in Hong Kong and around Asia, including Shanghai, Beijing, Manila, Singapore, Tokyo, Osaka, Guangzhou, Macau and Seoul. He is a co-founder of the long form improv groups Pajama Party!, 852 Crew, and 3 Dudes Improv, and the founder of the group Hong Kong Improv.
