Nigel NgInternational Stand-Up Comedian and Content Creator

Nigel Ng is a prolific Malaysian comedian and digital creator who has achieved global recognition through his sharp observational wit and viral character work. Based in the United States after a successful period in the United Kingdom, he is the co-creator of the Uncle Roger persona. This satirical middle-aged figure, known for critiquing renditions of Asian cuisine with a signature Cantonese accent, has propelled him to massive online success, with his YouTube commentary on egg fried rice alone generating over 250 million views. His stand-up comedy draws on his experiences as an immigrant, playfully examining British cultural quirks ranging from holidaying at Butlins to the peculiar design of Henry the Hoover. A graduate of Northwestern University with a background in engineering and philosophy, he previously worked as a data scientist for Monzo before transitioning into full-time entertainment. His transition to the stage was marked by a nomination for the prestigious Best Newcomer Award at the Edinburgh Fringe, leading to televised appearances on Mock the Week, Jonathan Ross’ Comedy Club, and Stand Up Central. Beyond his visual content, he reaches a wide audience as the host of the Rice To Meet You and Haiyaa podcasts. His live tours have sold out across the UK and Europe, earning praise for his relaxed delivery and ability to bridge cultural divides through humour. Audiences book him for his unique ability to blend traditional stand-up with a modern, multi-platform presence that resonates across generations.
