Wong didn’t realize his love for stand-up comedy until 2002, when his friends took him to a comedy club in Boston.

黄西之前一直没有意识到自己对单口相声秀的这份热爱，直到2002年的某天，朋友们将他带到一家位于波士顿的喜剧俱乐部。

Before that, Wong was simply another Chinese immigrant with a doctoral degree from Rice University, Houston, Texas, and who talks with a strong accent.

在那之前，黄西只不过是一个有着浓重口音、取得德州休斯敦市莱斯大学博士学位的华裔移民。

After practicing for a few months, Wong made his debut performance at a comedy club in Boston in late 2002.

通过数月的练习，黄西于2002年年末，在波士顿一家喜剧俱乐部上演了处女秀。

“When I finished my first five minutes of performance, a member of the audience came to me and said ‘you seemed interesting, but I didn’t understand a word you said’, ” Wong said.

“当我完成自己首场5分钟表演时，一名观众走过来对我说‘你看起来很有趣，但你说的话我一个词都听不懂’。”黄西说。

Wong kept practicing and performing at the club, until he became well known in Boston.

黄西继续在这家俱乐部练习加表演，直到他名扬波士顿。

In April 2009, Wong was invited to perform on the Late Show with David Letterman, a popular late-night talk show in the US.
