On today's episode I talk to comedian Ronny Chieng. Born in Malaysia, Ronny was raised in New Hampshire and Singapore and graduated from the University of Melbourne in Australia with a Bachelor of Laws and a Bachelor of Commerce. That same year, he started performing stand-up, and since then he has toured four sold out global stand up comedy theater tours in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, India, Canada and London and recorded four award winning comedy specials. In Australia, Ronny has written and acted in multiple television shows which include Problems, Legally Brown, It’s a Date and more. He also co-created and starred in his own pilot International Student. Ronny is currently a correspondent on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah on Comedy Central and was recently named one of Variety's 10 Comics to Watch.
