Comedian Sheng Wang is a Taiwanese Texan whose slow, deliberate pace masks a sharp wit. He uses personal experiences and observations to craft confidently absurd, carefully constructed jokes that are completely his own."Mitch Hedberg was especially enlightening," Wang says, "but I draw inspiration from all great comics. My comedy is mostly dry with splashes of wet excitement. The performance is driven by my writing, so I spend a lot of time and energy figuring out the specific structure and words in a joke."Wang started performing comedy about nine years ago in the San Francisco Bay area, after graduating with a business degree from Uc Berkeley. He moved to New York in 2009 and he says he can now be seen on stage most often at The Creek and the Cave in Long Island City, N.Y. He has also performed at the Montreal Just for Laughs festival, toured with the Comedians.
