Ben Quinlan is the Chairman of Fintech Association of Hong Kong, CEO and Managing Partner of Quinlan & Associates, Adjunct Professor at AIT School of Management, Conference Ambassador for Hong Kong Tourism Board, and somehow he's also one of Asia's most successful standup comedians. 

We talk about the current political and economic climate in HK, the drastic measures some industries had to undertake to deal with Covid, and of course we touch on standup comedy as well.

We continue on our journey of catching up with the city's top standup comedians, and this week we have Chris Musni on. Chris is Hong Kong's most prolific standup writer, one of the OGs of the standup comedy scene in HK, the original found of comedy.hk, yet, he has had a very turbulent relationship with standup throughout the years, falling in and out of love with it, the politics and the bookers pushed him to quit for many years, and now he's back smashing it all over town, and claiming his rightful place as one of the best standup comics the city has to offer. 

We delve into his journey, his beginning, the ghetto days and why he quit and why he came back.

We are flying solo this week with no guests and a whole lot of nerding out on comedy. From our different processes of writing jokes to refining bits at open mics and how we come up with ideas for jokes, then we bust out our notebooks and run our very new and super old bits past each other, add tags and share a lot of laughs. This one is for the hardcore comedy folks so, strap in!

This week we're back on the comedy train, with one of Asia's top comics and comedy powerhouse Garron Chiu. We discuss the recent talk of the town in Hong Kong: Nicole Kidman skipping HK quarantine to film her new show "The Expats", as well as the chaotic way the quarantine rules in HK keep changing last minute and Phuket's Sandbox updates (where Garron's wife Cassi is currently "stuck")
