ALI WONG is a stand-up comic from San Francisco, now living in Los Angeles. Her first Netflix stand-up special Baby Cobra was filmed when she was seven months pregnant. It was met with critical acclaim, and applauded by New York Magazine, Elle, Vogue and more. The day before its premiere, Wong’s interview with Marc Maron on his podcast WTF was released. He called the special “the most honest, rawest, funniest special I’ve seen in years.” She soon after became a very popular Halloween costume.
