Summary
Lean as hell and twice as productive, Nigel Ng is coming to shame your work ethic with his radical efficiency! This hilarious UK-based Malaysian comic lets us in on how his background in data science is helping him hit hard on social media, why he knew Edinburgh reviewers wouldn't like him, why he doesn't know what "texture" means, and what it felt like to gig 5 hours after a huge personal catastrophe. But is he too efficient for his own personal life...?

| 0:45.1 | his mental health is robust. This is Nigel Ung. You are going to get a lot out of this. |
| 0:51.3 | I, you will hear the pleasure in my voice as I talk to someone who is so, |
