Spend a hilarious evening with Ronny Chieng, one of the fastest-rising stars in stand-up comedy, known for his role in the big-screen hit Crazy Rich Asians, and for his regular appearances as a correspondent on Comedy Central's Daily Show with Trevor Noah.

Born in Malaysia and raised in both Singapore and in Manchester, N.H., Ronny Chieng has become one of the fastest-rising stars on the international stand-up scene. He made his U.S. television debut in 2015 on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, and he hasn't slowed down since.

Chieng made a big splash at Montreal's Just for Laughs Comedy Festival, sold out solo performances at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, London's SOHO Theatre, and the Sydney Opera House, and has opened for Dave Chappelle and Bill Burr on their tours of Australia. He has toured and recorded four specials of his own, including 2014's Chieng Reaction and 2015's You Don't Know What You're Talking About. Since 2015, he's also been a senior correspondent on Comedy Central's Daily Show with Trevor Noah.

Most recently, Chieng was featured in the cast of the big-screen box office hit, Crazy Rich Asians. His autobiographical series, Ronny Chieng: International Student, recently aired on ABC in Australia and is currently available in the U.S. on the Comedy Central app.
