Malaysia-born, New York-based comedian Ronny Chieng can get quite aggressive when he delivers his jaunty yet unapologetic stand-up act that is often loaded with expletives, so much so that his Vietnamese-Australian wife has called him out for having “tone issues”.
The 33-year-old, who is a correspondent on The Daily Show With Trevor Noah on Comedy Central, told The New Paper over the phone from New York: “She has an issue with my tone because apparently the way I talk sounds offensive, which is also the reason why I named my latest tour Tone Issues.”
Chieng – who last performed in Singapore in 2015 – will be bringing his Tone Issues Tour to Esplanade Theatre on Nov 29.
He grew up in Singapore and returns here every four months to visit his family and friends who are living here.
When asked about the subjects he will be tackling during his latest tour, Chieng, without elaborating much, said he will be covering his wife, the UK and bloggers.
“It’s a bit difficult to classify them into topics because I will just be saying anything that comes to my mind.”
