Originally from Brooklyn, Shang, a Carnegie Mellon graduate and aspiring illustrator, began his comedy career on a dare when a friend bet him $50 to take the stage during open-mike at a local comedy club. Shang won the bet, caught the comedy bug, and quickly became an underground favorite with his dark, avant-garde, socio-political style.

Shang's passionate and explosive humor has been showcased on 'Politically Incorrect', 'NBC Comedy Showcase', VH-1's 'The List', and Comedy Central's Comic Justice. He has also guest starred on episodes of 'The Jamie Foxx Show' and 'The Parenthood', and he was selected as the "Best of the Fest" on HBO's 'Aspen Comedy Festival Special'.
