    Asian Comedians

    is there a lot of asian Stand-up Comedians out there like from japan, sing, taiwan or the Philippines? It seems like you can just count a few asian countries that have those & most are not pure breeds jus like these guys

    VIVEK MAHBUBANI - google that guy. He is Indian but is the funniest comedian in HK in both Cantonese and English.

    I heard him at some comedy place in Soho one night and he is funny. I think it is called Take Out Comedy.

    He was on some TV show last night. I think he was interviewing a chef in Cantonese - just saw the channel - didn't listen.

    There is a comedy festival in October in HK where this guy appears.
