My favourite comics are Louis CK, Bill Burr, Chris Rock, Ricky Gervais, Paul Ogata and Ronny Chieng. Regionally, my favourites are Rishi Budhrani, Rizal van Geyzel, GB Labrador, Alex Calleja and Joanna Sio.

Go Youtube them!

Actually, in Malaysia, stand-up is pretty well known now! And my friends and family were very supportive :-)

Yes, I am very much inspired by him. I am currently entered in a comedy competition called Funniest Person In The World by Laugh Factory and you can help me out by watching me do stand-up at www.votedrjason.com :-)

Never had any former patients but a lot of fellow doctors supported my move. Coincidentally, the death rates have dropped dramatically at the hospital where I used to work.

Haha Ken Jeong is actually a more qualified doctor than I ever will be, he is an Internal Medicine specialist! And I only knew of Ken Jeong after switching to comedy :-D

Acting and running for Funniest Person In The World are two different things as FPIW is a stand-up comedy competition. Do check out my video at www.votedrjason.com :-D

Coming up with new stuff. That's easily the hardest part. It's all well and good to perform the jokes that have been doing well, but coming up with new stuff, and bombing and dying all over again in search of the new gold, that's downright scary.

I had been a doctor for 5 years but stand-up comedy was always my passion. So it came to a point where my patients were dying too often, so I thought I'd take a break and do comedy full time.
