𝗙𝗟𝗔𝗦𝗛𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞: 𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗢𝗥'𝗦 𝗥𝗘𝗘𝗟 (𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗘𝗗𝗬)

Take a sneak peek into a snippet from my one-minute comedy reel compilation, showcasing memorable moments from my previous projects.



Comedy acting requires precise timing, delivery, and an understanding of humor, which can be subjective. The ability to switch between different comedic styles, various scripts, and connect with diverse audiences is essential.


A significant portion of my work involves the use of the 'Asian accent,' and while this may offend and not resonate with everyone, I believe in the actor's choice, and handling criticism is part of the role.


Personally, I love the realm of comedy due to its challenging nature. It allows actors to explore and express their creativity in a lighthearted and entertaining way, with playful, exaggerated characters and situations providing opportunities to showcase comedic timing and delivery.


My advice on comedy acting is:

  • Timing is key—whether delivering a punchline or reacting to a funny situation—is essential for maximum comedic impact. Practice and a keen sense of rhythm are crucial.

  • Fully commit to your comedic character's absurdity—be it through physicality, facial expressions, or unique quirks. Embracing the exaggeration enhances humor, making your performance more authentic and funny.

  • In comedy, be adaptable and quick on your feet. Improvisation is key, and turning unexpected moments into humor showcases your comedic prowess.
