Comedian Ronny Chieng moved to New York City after being headhunted for a spot on Trevor Noah's Daily Show during a set at a comedy festival. Since then, he's sold out global stand-up tours, made a semi-autobiographical sitcom, and landed a role in the upcoming Warner Bros. film Crazy Rich Asians.

Chieng talks with Tom Power about what it's been like to forge his own path in the comedy world. He performs two shows (March 3 and 4 at the Rio Theatre) at JFL NorthWest, Vancouver's Comedy Festival. Bio, show details, and tickets are available here.
