Paul Ogata onstage at TakeOut Comedy in Hong Kong

It has been some time since SHECKYmagazine readers have had the pleasure of reading a Big Move column from Paul Ogata. The drought has ended with Ogata’s latest– a feature on the comedy scene in Hong Kong:

In the few times I’ve been there over the last three years, I’ve seen the scene grow from me being the only guy on stage in the entire country to meeting a thriving comedy community, teeming with the energy of new comics. Jami Gong now has regular shows on the weekends, as well as open mic nights for both English and Chinese language comedy during the week. He is, as he proudly proclaims, the only full-time comedy club in Asia.

Read the whole thing. Ogata will travel to Hong Kong in October to headline that country’s (and Asia’s) only comedy festival.
