I'm on Twitter for work, but I hate it. I encourage everyone to delete it if possible.
I'm very much an action movie type of person. My wife is more of a 'Notebook' type of girl.
I always take things too seriously.
I'm from Asia. You can hear it in my voice, and you can see it in my face, and that's primarily my perspective.
I was not a great student.
I usually say something if I hear someone I know saying something I think is racist with malicious intent.
I got heckled off stage in Western Australia at a music festival once.
I'm made of dead stars, I eat a lot of fruits, and I hate peak period travel, as opposed to my character on 'The Daily Show with Trevor Noah,' who is made of jello, eats vegan, and loves camping.
I'm the worst night owl, because I'm a self-loathing night owl who thinks, 'No, I should be getting up early.' It feels unproductive. I must get over that.
My style of comedy is probably absurdist, observational, and Olympian.
American comic Bill Burr makes me laugh a lot.
I once did a gig at an office Christmas party in the showroom floor of a friend's father's home appliance shop in the suburbs of Melbourne. It was to a much older crowd. Without a microphone. Or a stage. With the queue for the buffet behind me.
I grew up in Singapore, and I went to Australia for law school, and after law school, I started doing stand-up comedy.
What happened was, in my final year of university in Australia, there was a campus comedy competition, and I felt like it was something I could do. I won that competition, and I kept doing it, and I couldn't get a job in law. So I just kept doing comedy.
We promote Asian storytelling - not just Asian stories but Asian people in stories with the full spectrum of the human experience. When you say, 'Oh, it's not enough attention on Asians. It's more black and white,' that game becomes like you're playing the discrimination Olympics.
We didn't really have vacations when I was a child.
When I first came to Australia, one thing that struck me was how everything closed early. Singapore is very much a 24/7 place. You can get good food any time of the day - in the middle of the night, even.
There's a lot of comedy in being the outsider. You can say, 'That's weird. Why do you do it that way? That's foreign to me. That's pretty weird.'
I like to think we're all the sum of our experiences, so no one has my perspective.
Always being the outsider, you... feel comfortable everywhere, but you don't really feel at home anywhere. I definitely draw comedy from that.
