About this listen

 This week’s Phenomenal Asian is Nigel Ng, a stand-up comedian originally from Malaysia and co-host of the hugely popular 'Rice To Meet You', one of the first comedy podcasts about Asian culture. Given the severe lack of Asian representation in UK comedy, I was super excited to have Nigel as a guest as he's been making waves on the comedy scene and was nominated for the prestigious Best Newcomer Award for his sold-out show Culture Shocked at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival last year. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did and prove to you that Asians can be pretty funny too. EPISODE BREAKDOWN Nigel's background and upbringing (1:54) How Nigel got into comedy (8:00) Culture shock of moving East to West (9:15) What life as an Asian comedian is really like (19:32) FOLLOW NIGEL Nigel's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrnigelng/?hl=en Nigel's website: https://nigelngcomedy.com/ FOLLOW PHENOMENAL & ASIAN Instagram: www.instagram.com/phenomenal.asian Learn more about your ad choices.
