Wong is a bilingual stand-up comedian who performs in both English and Chinese. He originally emigrated to the US as a biochemistry researcher, but made a drastic career change after discovering a talent for comedy.

He has since appeared on popular shows such as Late Show with David Letterman, Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and The Ellen Degeneres show. In 2024, he did a solo performance at the Netflix Is A Joke Fest.

Tickets for the Macao show are currently on sale and are priced at 450 patacas.
