He recalls the city’s vibrant, never-sleeping atmosphere and the exceptional food experiences, particularly a memorable dim sum feast. For Segura, the allure of Hong Kong goes beyond performing; it’s about immersing in the city’s lively ambience and gastronomy.

Audiences seeking laughter and entertainment found solace in his comedic narratives, leading to a broader appreciation of stand-up comedy.
Segura’s personal life is a unique blend of humor and normalcy. Married to fellow comedian Christina P [Pazsitzky], they balance their professional lives with parenting. Segura admires Christina’s joke-writing skills and emphasizes that they don’t compete professionally, maintaining a healthy relationship. Their family dynamics mirror many households, with one parent always home to ensure a stable family environment.
For his upcoming performance at Kitec, Segura is excited to bring new material that he has refined during his tour. He looks forward to sharing his latest hour of comedy, honed through meticulous tweaking, with an international audience. His enthusiasm for returning to Hong Kong is palpable, as he expresses a deep fondness for the city.
