About this person

Nigel Ng was born March 15, 1991, in Malaysia. He co-created Uncle Roger with Evelyn Mok, a character who leans into the stereotype of the exasperated Chinese uncle watching Westerners fumble their way through rice and noodles. The accent is thick, the critiques are sharp, and the frame is simple: someone finally saying what Asian viewers mutter at their screens. The bit found its audience on YouTube, where regional food and identity politics collide with mass entertainment. Ng now toggles between his own voice and the uncle's, the line between comedian and character thinner with each video.
