For Jami Gong, the greatest job in the world is making people laugh. Jami is dubbed as The Funniest Man in Hong Kong and is the founder and producer of TakeOut Comedy, the first full-time comedy club in Asia. His first dab at stand-up comedy was a comic competition in Syracuse University during his sophomore year in 1989. He fell in love with standup comedy watching The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Jami says fate or destiny helped him become who he is today, but watching The Tonight Show helped him realize the power of laughter. Celebrating the comedy club’s eleventh anniversary, Jami takes us through the origin story and shares his secret to crowd work.
