In his 11-day show, Wong tackled sensitive issues in a hilarious light, bringing up the current political turmoil in Occupy Central in Hong Kong. In his show, he criticized the government for 'hitting the kids' who went on a demonstration to promote democracy.

Wong also made jokes about relationships between men and women nowadays, comparing them to Pinnacle Islands and Do Min Jun, the alien character portrayed by actor Kim Soo Hyun in the South Korean drama 'You Who Came From the Stars'.

According to Wong, men could only think about saving the Pinnacle Islands which is still a matter of dispute among China, Taiwan and Japan while women think about nothing but Do Min Jun.

Wong commented that the alien character is 400 years old with wisdom, maturity and wealth that comes with his age, but has the face of a 17-year old. The stand-up comedian jokingly added that the character becomes ill when getting in contact with bodily fluids which meant the character can't have sex.

He has tackled other subjects during his shows, sharing his different experiences with the crowd with a funny twist to it, particularly a story about how women were flocking to him when he went to a bar to unwind.

"Not only are women capturing men alive; they also want to chop them into pieces and let out their blood," Wong jokingly commented.

On a side note, celebrities have also come to Wong's show including 'Triumph in the Sky' star Chilam Cheung and Francis Ng, actors Eason Chan and Ronal Cheng and many more.
