Thirsty Kevin fumbles his big date

The hilarious @shengwangtime came by to build some @lego and talk about his new special “Purple,” streaming now on @netflixisajoke ! Check it out, then watch our full episode on YT! Fun episode! #lego #standup #comedy #netflixisajoke #netflix

With a calm cadence but wild mind, Sheng Wang takes a microscope to the most relatable, mundane things in life, and finds all sorts of hilarious chloroplasts and ribosomes of profound takeaways. Wang’s newest stand-up special “Purple,” streaming now on Netflix, tackles the day’s pressing topics, all articulated with an incredible vocabulary. “I love the beauty, power, and diversity of language, and finding the perfect word to describe something,” he says. “Some words I'm currently feeling are ‘sop,’ ‘deft,’ ‘patina,’ and ‘murmur.’” His zen-like stage presence is a welcome change of pace. Some stand-ups need to jump around and yell and shock you, but it takes a special act like Sheng who can get you in tears with the most subtle and precise act-outs. Wang didn’t become this good at comedy overnight, he’s been at it well over 20 years. Born in Taiwan, raised in Houston, college at UC Berkeley, and with stints in SF and NY, we’re thankful Sheng Wang now calls the Westside of LA home. This week, he was featured at a few shows at the Netflix is a Joke Fest. @shengwangtime Read his Comedy Q&A to learn more about infatuation with plants, his journey in comedy, and what 'epiphytic' means, thru @laweekly 📸 Dustin Rabin / @dustinrabin ✍️ @boyface_

After two decades paying his dues and honing his craft - stand-up comedian Sheng Wang is now a headliner. He’s known for examining small, mundane things, like the color of his toothbrush, and spinning that out into a deeper thought. His toothbrush’s color inspired the name of his new Netflix special, Purple. Find the full interview at link in bio 🔗

"I’m basically just collecting these moments," @shengwangtime tells The Times' @naterodamus about his observational comedy. "I wanted to be a comedian, I wanted to be a poet, and I wanted to be a photographer. And for me, stand-up comedy embodies everything, those other things as well."
