If you look to the left you can see me waving on my balcony! Bangkok is loud, chaotic, beautiful, confusing — and surprisingly funny. For years, people assumed stand-up comedy in Bangkok was an occasional open mic in the back of a bar. That’s outdated. English-language stand-up comedy in Bangkok is now a real scene, with professional comics, sold-out shows, and audiences made up of expats, travelers, digital nomads, and Thais who enjoy sharp English comedy. If you’re looking

Walk into any meeting, classroom, boardroom, bar, or group chat and you’ll eventually meet them: the human lighthouse. Standing tall, shining bright, signaling to everyone within a five-meter radius, “Relax, everyone. I’ve already solved everything.” They don’t say it out loud. They just radiate the quiet confidence of someone who has never once Googled how to spell Wednesday. It’s one of the great modern delusions — believing you’re the smartest person in the room. Not being

Chasing the Fear: How Fight or Flight Actually Makes You Funnier There’s a moment before every comedy show where my brain quietly asks,“Hey Lex… what if instead of doing standup, we just… don’t?” That’s the fight or flight response in action. And because I’m a comedian, my brain usually adds a third option:“Or hear me out… what if we pretend to faint?” Welcome to the psychology of fear , where human instincts collide with Bangkok humidity and a microphone that’s definitely b

Here’s the hard truth no one wants to tell you when you first grab a mic: being funny isn’t enough . You might kill once. You might ride that high for a few weeks, name-drop that one show in conversations like it's your Netflix special. But eventually, comedy demands more. More honesty. More consistency. More growth. And that means self-improvement. Now, self-improvement isn’t sexy. It’s not the viral clip. It’s not the poster with your face on it. It’s sitting with your note

There’s a weird psychological magic trick some people pull off — they hurt you, and somehow walk away angry at you for it . It’s like they borrowed your car, crashed it into a tree, and then complained your bumper was “too sensitive.” I’ve seen this up close. In comedy, business, and life. Actually, recently I’ve even tried to work again with a couple of people who already screwed me once — thinking maybe we could start fresh. The irony is, I actually understand why they’re a

I’m only writing this blog because the internet told me it would help with SEO. That’s it. No deep desire to overshare. No dream of becoming Bangkok’s next comedy thought-leader. Just cold, calculated keyword placement . Now, I’m not that good at business — clearly, because if blogging was this important ( and easy )( and free ) for visibility, I probably should’ve done it back when the club on Khaosan was actually open. Might’ve helped. Who knew? I was never good at marketin

It’s funny how the people who are most obsessed with controlling others are the ones who can’t even control themselves. They bark orders, micromanage, manipulate, demand loyalty — but they can’t stop lying, can’t stop drinking, can’t stop cheating. That’s the paradox: if you really have self-control, you don’t feel the need to control anyone else... and, you probably wouldn't be reading this right now. Self-Control vs. Control Self-control is internal. It’s the ability to sit

Back home, stand-up is brutal, competitive, and soul-crushing. But at least you know the rules. In Bangkok, the rules are made up, the...
