Show Notes

Ken Cheng is a stand-up comedian, writer and professional poker player, but is probably best known for being the master of going viral on LinkedIn with over 200,000 followers!


Outside of poking the corporate world, Ken has written for Have I Got News For You, Mock the Week and even created a Doctor Who audio episode. We discuss:


  • how LinkedIn satire accidentally became the biggest career pivot of his life
  • is poker psychology the same as being a stand-up
  • how signing up for an open mic with Ed Gamble changed everything
  • becoming a minor celebrity in the board game world
  • the realisation that the Fringe isn't your audience
  • and we find out if Ken Cheng is happy...

  • turning LinkedIn satire into corporate gigs and serious money
  • the temptation to tour again and refusing to rip off an audience
  • and being commissioned to write for companies that don't even publish the work
