Ken studied mathematics at Cambridge University since 2007 but soon dropped out to become a professional poker player.

2007年，Ken被剑桥大学数学系录取，但没过多久就直接辍学改行做起了专业扑克玩家。

He started comedy about six years ago. It was just a hobby at first and he didn't see it as a possible career until a couple of years ago. Ken reached the final of the 2017 BBC Radio New Comedy and his show ‘Two birds with one stone’ made a big success among the audience.

大概6年前，Ken开始接触喜剧笑话。刚开始喜剧于他来说只是兴趣爱好，他从未想过会发展成职业。2017年，Ken成功入围了BBC 举办的新喜剧比赛（New Comedy Awards）的决赛，凭借演出《一石二鸟》瞬间俘获了大批英国观众。

It is Ken’s first time in Edinburgh Festival Fringe which is world’s largest arts festival. He was surprised the joke won the award because it had been a “groaner”.

今年是Ken首次参加爱丁堡艺穗节，也是Ken首次在世界级的艺术节上崭露头角。让Ken没有想到的是，当初对新一英镑硬币发行后的一点吐槽就让他能获得如此大的荣誉。

“It was when they announced they were going to come up with a new coin, so I first came up with it in 2017.”

这个想法最初是2017年有的，当时正宣布说要设计新的硬币式样。

“Audiences tend to groan at it a lot. I’m generally going after laughs, but I’ll take the groan.”
