Nigel NG, a Malaysian comedian popularly known as Uncle Roger, is performing in India for the first time, starting with Delhi. Nigel describes Uncle Roger as an older uncle who talks a lot, acts like a know-it-all, and complains often, making him relatable to different cultures. In a recent conversation with Bangalore Times, Nigel discusses his journey into stand-up comedy, shifting to online content creation during the pandemic, handling online trolls, and more. He shares that due to the closure of comedy clubs, he had to adapt and move his comedy online, resulting in the creation of Uncle Roger, a character that combined all his skills in editing, filming, joke writing, and performance, which received a great response. Nigel emphasizes the unique experience of live shows, where the audience disconnects from their phones to fully engage with the performance. Exploring the vast culture of India excites him, with trying different kinds of biryani being a priority. Nigel reflects on the time and practice required to become a good comedian, urging newcomers to focus on honing their craft before posting content online. Lastly, he notes the evolving role of comedians as modern-day one-man production teams compared to the past.In the world of stand-up comedy, the process used to be simpler - write jokes, perform them at a comedy club. However, with the rise of online platforms, comedians now have to write, perform, and film their jokes to maintain an online presence. This additional workload includes creating content similar to that of personalities like Uncle Roger, who portray knowledgeable yet kind characters at a coffee shop, known as a kopitiam in Malaysia. Comedian Nigel NG, also known as Uncle Roger, advises that individuals who are easily offended should think twice before engaging in social media. Developing a thick skin is essential to dealing with online trolls, and learning to accept constructive criticism while ignoring unnecessary negativity is key. Nigel NG will be showcasing his comedic talents on The Haiyaa World Tour in India, presented by BookMyShow Live.
