Kuan-wen: Ilha Formosa (Work In Progress)

“Taiwanese force of nature” (Chortle) Kuan-wen traded his beloved island for the rainy British Isles.  He did this partially to escape his tiger mum after an 18-month trauma of his compulsory military service.  He uses the word 'partially' because it sounds less hurtful to his mum than using 'solely'.  He then qualified as a chartered accountant and a chartered tax advisor in the UK, only to decide the best way to honour his qualifications is to tell jokes at comedy clubs, including but not limited to jokes about VAT.  Kuan-wen welcomes you to the work in progress show of his first hour to recount how he ended up on this random journey and why, despite all the homesickness, he is not returning to his homeland.  New Acts of the Year FINALIST 2019. As heard and seen on BBC Three, BBC Radio 4 and Comedy Central UK."
