Comedian Sheng Wang is on Maui this weekend, performing his latest set for one night only at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center.

Wang's style has been described as “unconventional,” and he is perhaps best known for his 2022 Netflix special, “Sweet and Juicy.”

He spoke with The Conversation about his approach to comedy and how he’s inspired by Hawaiʻi. He started by describing the first time he ever attempted doing stand-up, as part of a social club in college.
