Nigel Ng

Nigel Ng, also known as Uncle Roger, is a Malaysian comedian, restaurateur, and international star with a massive social media following of more than 31 million across platforms. His viral character, Uncle Roger, rose to fame by hilariously critiquing Western chefs’ (most famously, Jamie Oliver's) attempts at Asian cuisine, and went on to captivate audiences worldwide.

Since then, Nigel's opened two restaurant concepts, FUIYOH! It's Uncle Roger in Malaysia, and Kawan by Uncle Roger in London. His stand-up special The HAIYAA Special — which he toured for over 100,000 people across multiple countries — is available on Hulu and Youtube. His first cookbook Don't Mess Up Your Rice is scheduled for release in November 2026.

Nigel lives in Los Angeles.
