Meet Nigel | AKA Uncle Roger, Comedian and Co-Host of Rice to Meet You podcast Phenomenal & Asian

This week’s Phenomenal Asian is Nigel Ng, a stand-up comedian originally from Malaysia and co-host of the hugely popular 'Rice To Meet You', one of the first comedy podcasts about Asian culture. Given the severe lack of Asian representation in UK comedy, I was super excited to have Nigel as a guest as he's been making waves on the comedy scene and was nominated for the prestigious Best Newcomer Award for his sold-out show Culture Shocked at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival last year. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did and prove to you that Asians can be pretty funny too.
