Ep 74: How her intuition shifted her from lawyer to comedian w/ Jocelyn Chia

03/27/20 • 47 min

This episode is special because I am interviewing one of my dear friends, Jocelyn Chia about her journey from being a lawyer to a professional comedian. What I love about her story is the moment when she knew that comedy was her passion and she could no longer deny it so she took a major risk and it paid off. Such a compelling story. I think you're going to enjoy hearing it.

Bio: Jocelyn Chia is a bi-continental standup comedian, splitting her time between New York and Singapore. She has been featured on cnbc.com, and has been a guest comedian on the Howard Stern Channel of Sirius XM, and a guest host on MTV. She made her standup television debut on AXS TV’s Gotham Comedy Live, hosted by William Shatner. She is also a two-time winner of the Moth Storyslams.

She won the 2016 Ladies of Laughter Competition and was a finalist at the 2017 New York’s Funniest competition at Caroline's. She has received the “Rising Star Award – Comedy” at the Asian American Television and Film Festival, and made her Comedy Central debut in 2018. She has performed in festivals such as the Boston Comedy Festival and the Women in Comedy Festival, and colleges such as NYU and Harvard University, and has opened for Doug Stanhope.
