Walter Hong, Stand Up Comedian

Walter Hong

His story of going into the stand up comedy scene isn't through a common platform. For an Asian comic to start off in Laugh Factory's Chocolate Sundaes, which features a dominantly African American audience, you'd say he hit big time. Much so, as he became a regular on Chocolate Sundaes in just 2 shows, and eventually becoming a regular at The Laugh Factory. He flies down to Malaysia for his tour around Asia, and we caught up with him to get him to tell us his side of the story, of an Asian comic in America.
