During a hilarious performance on Comedy Central Stand-Up Featuring, comedian Jason Cheny wonders how to know if you’re gay, explains why he’s big on positive reinforcement and shares how the suicide hotline helped him in the weirdest way.

Jason Cheny: Born and raised in Taiwan, re-raised in America. With a cross-cultural perspective, and a goofy personality. Jason points out social absurdities within his family, upbringing, and the society he constantly tries to find his belonging in. Expressing his frustration and confusion on stage every night, in a way that feels the most truthful to him at that moment.

In LA, you can see Jason perform at The Laugh Factory, The Comedy & Magic Club, HaHa Comedy Club, and in NY, The Comedy Cellar. Whilst in search of his own style in the world of stand-up, he was lucky enough to open for Ronny Chieng and Iliza Shlesinger. He has also appeared on ‘Laughs’ on Fox and Hulu, Kevin Hart’s LOL Network on SiriusXM, and won a couple of stand-up comedy contests including The World Series of Comedy main event in Las Vegas. Toured over Asia including Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and 40+ states across the US in comedy clubs, cruise ships, college campuses, corporate events, laundromats, garages, crafting his own style in every way possible. 

Comedy Central Stand-Up Featuring: Half-hour stand-up specials have been a staple of the Comedy Central brand since the 90s. Even though the name of the TV show changed a few times and the airings have shifted online. Regardless, they are still alive and going strong.

It was announced that a sixth season was picked up with 14 new stand-up comedians given their own set. It was also announced that the show will be retitled Comedy Central Stand-Up Presents.
