Comedy Central has commissioned a new short-form sketch show, East Mode with Nigel Ng, for its digital channels.

As well as being distributed via YouTube and Facebook Watch, the episodes will also will get a TV broadcast later this year.

Ng said: ‘This is all very exciting. I couldn't see my family over Lunar New Year but this is so good it almost makes up for it.’

Comedy Central says the 'mischievous new sketch show [delivers] a playful and utterly unique lens into the world right now.’

Characters include a mismatched heist crew, obsessive parents and an intrusive artificial intelligence.

His podcast: Haiyaa with Nigel Ng - the same title as his forthcoming tour – has recently launched with Bill Burr’s production company, All Things Comedy.

Ng is also developing a TV project with Gordon Ramsay’s company, Studio Ramsay, a sitcom project and an animated series based on Uncle Roger.
