I am sure most of us are familiar with Canadian-Indian comedian Russell Peters who is a hit all over the world.
Now we have a US-Chinese answer to the funny man. Joe Wong.
We often think comedian as clueless clowns and brainless jesters but these folks are actually very smart people. Like Rowan "Mr Bean" Atkinson, who has a Masters In Engineering Science, Joe has a Ph.D in Mollecular-Biology.
Impressed yet?
Between Russell and Joe, I like Joe better as his range of topics, which includes current affairs and politics, is much wider.
I like his impeccable timing with strategic pauses for the maximum punch as well as his Captain Obvious one-liners peppered all over the place. Can you say "duh.........."?
"...I spend 10 years during the last decade....."
The only thing I feel is a bit short is that his script is quite repetitive. I scour for clips all over Youtube and it seems that his materials are very environmental friendly. A lot of recycling.
On a side note, I like the Americans ability to take a joke at their own expense. The pinnacle of humility.
Try that in Singapore and you would be assured that you will never be invited again ever or worse, a million-dollar defamation suit when you take a jab at the Guest-Of-Honour.
I hope to see more new materials soon.
