I watched your special and loved it!!! I then went to follow you on twitter where I saw this, so my question is what celebrity has responded to you/your special that was the biggest shock?

By far Steve Yeun. He plays Glenn from The Walking Dead. The day my special started streaming on Netflix, he tweeted out his followers, that they should watch it, that it was so funny, with a picture of the billboard on Melrose and I JUST ABOUT DIED. I think his character and how he's chosen to play it, has been such a milestone for Asian Americans without trying to be.

I haven't performed there that much, and then I felt like everyone in SF, LA and NY had already seen all my jokes since I had lived in all those cities.

Hi Ali, Can I please ask, have you always been comfortable talking in front of an audience or did you have to learn to overcome the vulnerability of it?

u/thealiwong replied

I've always been very comfortable. I grew up going to this youth center where I performed sketches all the time, and was also encouraged to talk in front of my peers, younger and older, about the meaning of Thanksgiving and corny stuff like that.
