Comedian Nigel Ng‘s first stand-up comedy special, The Haiyaa Special, is set to premiere on Hulu on February 21st.
Filmed during his recent global tour, The Haiyaa Special showcases Ng’s trademark mix of cultural comedy, observational humor, and personal accounts. In the hour, he dives into his experiences as a Malaysian immigrant in the UK, along with further takes on Asian food culture and everyday situations, with a guest appearance from the beloved online character, Uncle Roger, for which he’s best known.
Written and performed by Ng, the special is produced by Orange Heart Productions Inc.
Nominated for the Best Newcomer Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2019, Ng came to international recognition in 2020 with his viral video series centered on the character Uncle Roger and his comedic critiques of cooking videos. Since then, he has amassed over 30 million followers across social platforms and has sold out over 100 shows around the globe, establishing himself as a prominent voice on the stand-up scene.
Now based in Los Angeles, Ng has recently launched his first-ever Uncle Roger-themed restaurant in his hometown of Kuala Lumpur. He has a number of TV projects in development and is due to hit 10 million subscribers on his YouTube channel later this year.
