About the event
Winsie Chen: the former child actress who traded the melodrama of theatre for the existential dread of banking—because nothing screams 'proud Asian' like a career path that pleases your parents but tortures your soul. She's now navigating the absurdity of tech startups while moonlighting on stage, not so much for a career pivot as for a plea of sanity. Born in China and bounced around five countries, she's mastered the art of being perpetually confused and linguistically challenged.
“Standup at night? What do you mean exactly?” - Anonymous, a code name for her bewildered Chinese parents.
“Standup at night? What do you mean exactly?” - James, her tech startup boss.
"... Who?" - The Scotsman
“That was the punchline, right?” - Lucy, her best friend, post-performance.
“Am I going to be a joke in your next set?” - Frank, her ex. (Spoiler alert: Yes.)
