Why This Doctor Became a Stand-Up Comedian

What happens when a globally recognized humanitarian doctor chooses stand-up comedy as her next act?

In this powerful and unexpected conversation, Aiken Chia interviews Dr. Tam Wai Jia—an award-winning global humanitarian doctor, public speaker, and most recently, stand-up comedian to explore her journey of risk-taking, radical faith, and choosing a life path that goes way against the grain.

They talk about:

  • The real cost of following your calling

  • Why she said yes to stand-up comedy (and sold out her first show!)

  • Navigating identity, fear, and purpose in seasons of change

  • Letting go of expectations and choosing joy anyway
