Not a fan of rape jokes

You know how of you feel the need to say "I'm not racist, but..." Whatever you're about to say next is probably pretty racist. Well if you have to say you respect women, but... The joke is probably pretty disrespectful. Also I don't find "I've raped a couple mouths before" to be a punchline. It wasn't getting that big of a laugh, repeating it and saying it louder didn't help the second, third, or fourth time. Just let the joke die and move on with your set.

High Octane and Powerful

High octane energy from the moment he hits the stage. Shang is that rare breed of comic that makes you laugh and leave you with something you didn’t know before. He is intelligent and raw at the same time. He reaches every member of the audience with topics from politics to sex. He is not afraid to approach issues of race, sexuality, current events or military matters. He is charming and charismatic with an infectious smile that melts the hearts of every woman in the audience. His material is always fresh because it’s from the headlines and current events.
I have followed Shang for a few years and every show is better than the last. He connects with his audience in a way that is comfortable despite his aggressive language and movements. His intelligence is undeniable as he takes full command of the stage and your mind. Shang is a phenomenal underused talent. As a fan I look forward to seeing him captivate a wider audience through film and the big screen. He is enormously talented, energetic and charismatic.
