Mother Supreme

Jenny Tian’s third stand-up special, Supreme Mother (also released as Mother Supreme), tackles the modern anxiety of leaving home to find yourself while still being emotionally governed by your parents. Filmed at The Bell House in Brooklyn and released on Veeps in May 2026, the hour catches the Chinese-Australian comic during her real-life relocation to the northern hemisphere.

Tian frames her international adventures, from flat-hunting in London to dodging phone snatchers, through the heavy-handed influence of her mother, whom she affectionately calls “Chairman Ma”. Having lived under Mao’s Communist regime, her mother rules with strict rules, going so far as to veto Tian’s original dream of moving to America, forcing her to move to the UK instead, and demanding she freeze her eggs for when her future relationships inevitably fail. Tian delivers these familial anecdotes alongside candid, shameless details about her sex life and Hinge dates, balancing a sweet stage presence with dirty self-deprecation.

The special arrived during a busy year for Tian, who had recently finished a run on Taskmaster Australia and moved to New York to begin touring the United States. While earlier shows relied heavily on her viral internet fame, this hour focuses on structured narrative comedy, capturing a performer stepping comfortably into her role as an international touring comic.
