It was just a hobby at first and he didn't see it as apossible career until a couple of years ago. Ken reached the final of the 2015 BBC Radio NewComedy and his show zTwo birds with one stone, made a big success among the audience.大概6年前，Ken开始接触喜剧笑话。刚开始喜剧于他来说只是兴趣爱好，他从未想过会发展成职业。2015年，Ken成功入围了 BBC举办的新喜剧比赛(New Comedy Awards)的决赛，凭借演出一石二鸟瞬间俘获了大批英国观众。华裔小哥讲了个段子，就荣获了爱丁堡国际艺穗节笑话奖，这种英式幽默你能懂吗？It is Ken,s first time in Edinburgh Festival Fringe which is world's largest arts festival. He wassurprised the joke won the award because it had been a zzgroaner,.今年是Ken首次参加爱丁堡艺穗节，也是Ken首次在世界级的艺术节上崭露头角。让Ken没有想到的是，当初对新一英镑硬币发行后的一点吐槽就让他能获得如此大的荣誉。“It was when they announced they were going to come up with a new coinz so I first cameup with it in 2014,这个想法最初是2014年有的，当时正宣布说要设计新的硬币式样。,zAudiences tend to groan at it a lot. I,m generally going after laughs, but l,ll take the groan.,观众对此（新一英镑硬币）吐槽了很多，我只是力求搞笑，但是也会采纳那些吐槽。华裔小哥讲了个段子，就荣获了爱丁堡国际艺穗节笑话奖，这种英式幽默你能懂吗？这次荣获最佳笑话的头衔，Ken也非常的开心。“The joke of the Fringe award is such a prestigious thing, and ultimately it,s just a fun thingto be involved in. I really enjoy it, and people seem to enjoy talking about it.w能获得艺穗节最佳笑话奖我非常荣幸，而且能参与其中也非常的好玩，我很喜欢，人们看起来也很喜欢讨论这个话题。“As a tribute, I will name my firstborn son after this award and call him "Joke of the Fringe'"我决定这次获奖之后，给我第一个儿子就取名为'艺穗节最佳笑话'，以示纪念。此次获奖之后小哥迅速走红，他的照片瞬间占领了 BBC,卫报，镜报等主流英国媒体的主页。对于迅速走红和各媒体的宣传，小哥也表示非常开心。"It's been good for exposure, and I hope people come to see my show because of it, eventhough the joke doesn't represent the show very well and it,s just one joke, but I'm very proud ofthe show, it's something different and l,m glad l,m getting that exposure because of it,有媒体曝光很好，我也希望人们因此都来观看我的演出，即使这个笑话不能很好的代表我的演出，而且这仅仅只是一个笑话，但我对自己的演出非常自豪，它很特别，我也很开心能因此带来更多的知名度。
