As a biochemist-turned-comedian who shot to fame by giving a 15-minute talk show at the White House Annual Correspondents’ Dinner in the U.S. in 2010, Wong is a person who from a young age has been struggling with low self-esteem. In a bid to move beyond his low self-esteem, he started writing books and learning about talk shows. Starting with telling jokes to friends and taking mics in clubs, he gradually used humor to develop himself and obtain a better life.

“Because of passion we have life, and my passion is humorous expression. It’s humor that let me accept my low self-esteem,” he said.

Audiences will have a chance to listen to his motivational stories as well as his experience and thoughts about mid-life. If you’re also a person who feels the same as Wong used to, don’t hesitate to join in this humorous journey, as you may find the answers for yourself.
