Dave Joke of the Fringe Winner, Cambridge mathematics dropout and professional poker player Ken Cheng returns this year with his second stand-up hour. Born to Chinese immigrants in the UK, Ken never had the most normal upbringing. Best Dad Ever is a tale of his unique childhood, exploring his obsession with toy lambs and his complicated relationship with his parents. As seen on Comedy Central at the Comedy Store, Ken is the writer and star of his own BBC Radio 4 series. 'Smart, impressive and brilliantly funny tour-de-comedy' (Chortle.co.uk). 'A fiercely accomplished talent' (Scotsman).
