I was born in Brooklyn and was quickly deported to Long Island where I was raised by my parents in an overprotective shell. After peaking academically in high school, I meandered through an Ivy League college, law school and a legal career only to realize that my true gift was in making fun of the law, as well as my own neuroses, my raging hypochondria, my height (or lack thereof), and the whole range of issues my wife and I face as an interracial couple with a biracial son.

I’ve performed at clubs, colleges and venues throughout the country including: Gotham Comedy Club; Governor’s Comedy Club; Stand Up New York; and Harvard University (Sanders Theatre). I’ve been featured in The Wall Street Journal and on CNN.com, and, in 2011, I won the 12th Annual Gilda’s Club (Northern NJ) Laugh-Off.

I’m also a writer. I wrote a series of columns about my comedy career in a regularly-occurring column in The New York Daily News “Money” section. I wrote a monthly humor column for the online webzine, The Coil Review (www.thecoilreview.com). In addition, my comedic short story “Lola’s Christmas Gift” was published in the 2008 issue of the literary journal, The Westchester Review.

In my off hours, I spend as much time as I can with my wife and our newborn son, Ivan, and they pretend to enjoy my company.

Bill Chiang

An immigrant with a traditional Asian background and an Ivy League education, stand up comedy is probably the last thing people would have predicted for Bill Chiang. In fact, he doesn’t even believe where he has landed. During the day, this Princeton educated scientist works in the high tech industry while at night, he is perfecting and performing his comedy set, and has become a favorite act up and down the East Coast. On stage, Bill goes against the traditional Asian stereotype by making people laugh with him at the absurdity & silliness of everyday life. He has unique views on relationships, TV and stories about growing up as an Asian Immigrant in NYC.

Bill is a Comedy Competition Winner in NYC, he has been featured on Comcast On-Demand and performs regularly in historic comedy venues such as The New York Comedy Club, The Comic Strip, Catch A Rising Star and The Comedy Cabaret in Philadelphia.

A baby boomer that has decided it is important to use the stage as an educational tool to warn us about impending disasters. No, not global warming or the end of the Mayan Calendar in December 2012, not even the Economic crisis we and our country now face. But about the dangers of raising a family, hospital visits, being a dog owner, traveling or doing anything else that the world might consider normal. Ted has a slightly different view. Because he is too cheap to spend $125.00 an hour to tell his problems to a psychologist, he will tell them to you. If it bothers you a little bit, chances are it bothers him A LOT, and you are going to hear about it. Offstage he does a great job of appearing normal, after listening to him for awhile you realize he is just as nuts as everyone else.

Recently, Ted has opened for SNL’s Jim Breuer, 30 Rock’s Tracey Morgan as well as Rhyss Darby from HBO’s “Flight of the Conchords” and Jim Carey’s “Yes Man”, Otto & George and the Legendary Bobby Collins. His ability to work clean or edgy makes it easy for him to be on almost any show in any venue. Ted is is strong enough on stage to have graced The Riviera Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Comix at Foxwoods in Connecticut, The Stress Factory in New Jersey and The Comedy Shoppe in North Jersey yet clean enough to work Church and School comedy fundraisers. He is working his way back to heaven,  “One Church Basement At A Time”.
