The Bridge to China

A British voice actor on becoming the Monkey King and the Chinese stand-up comedy scene


Listen Later

British stand-up comedian Kei Gambit describes the process of becoming the most well-known fictional character in China: The Monkey King. We ask him how he prepares for roles in movies like Moon Man, The Wandering Earth II and Battle for Changjin Lake. He and Alex discuss comedy clubs in Beijing and China. From a comic series and universe to publishing fantasy novels, Kei’s portfolio in media is hard to measure in scope. You’ll want to hear the stories of how this former Liverpool police officer became a star in China.
