Comedian Ali Wong is quickly becoming a cultural icon. She's gained fame as a stand-up, a sitcom writer, and a movie and TV star. But just who is this daring funny lady? Keep watching to find out! Wong has been involved with comedy ever since her college days. She fell in love with the craft after getting involved with a theater group. Then she got a scholarship to study in Vietnam. Performing stand-up was a fast way to do that for her, so she began going to open mics when she was 22. Her early material was admittedly "disgusting." As an Asian American woman in comedy, Wong has faced a lot of pushback. Despite those comments, Wong has continued to make dirty jokes, although she still faces criticism from men for talking about experiences like childbirth and breastfeeding. Quite frankly, she's tired of being defined by her race and her gender.
