Their stand-up
Born and raised in Sacramento, Sparks started his comedy career in Suzhou, China, in 2009 by founding the stand-up comedy club Kung Fu Komedy, and he has since performed in 15 countries. His comedy is clean and apolitical by design, global in perspective and brutally honest by nature.
In October 2018 he was inducted into the Friars Club in New York City, and in September 2020 he was elected to the Friars' Board of Governors. His Las Vegas Strip debut came in October 2021 with a week-long residency at the Laugh Factory inside the Tropicana, which he repeated in March 2022, 2023 and 2024, and his album Double Happiness came out in 2022.
In China he has appeared on CCTV and CGTN, and in January 2019 he was on Dragon TV's comedy show Roast!
Before taking the stage he brought New Jersey's Mister Softee ice cream trucks to China. As a regular at Shanghai's Kung Fu Komedy Club he played hundreds of shows across China and Asia, won Best of the Fest at the 2014 Akumal Comedy Festival in Mexico, presented by Stand Up Records, and was first runner-up at the Hong Kong International Comedy Competition.
