Evelyn Mok
Born and raised in Sweden to a Hong Kong-nese father and a Chinese-Indian mother, Evelyn dishonered her parents by moving to London to pursue stand-up. She's performed stand-up on Comedy Central, the BBC, won Best Comedy Newcomer at Pleasance Indies Awards for her debut Edinburgh Fringe show and went on to perform it at London's Soho Theatre.
She's acted in Spiderman: Far From Home (Marvel), Sally4Ever (HBO) & The Reluctant Landlord (SKY) and been named One to Watch by Time Out and BBC New Talent Hotlist.
In her native Sweden she's been nominated for Female Comedian of the Year and Best Show of the Year at The Swedish Stand-Up Gala, starred in the acclaimed sitcom Course in Self-Annihilation and guested on several panel shows.
All this and she still can't please her asian parents!

Support the Podcast!
Rice to Meet You is a self-produced podcast run by Evelyn and Nigel. We love making the podcast and our hope is to create a space for the Asian community where we can come together to laugh, celebrate and enjoy the experiences, idiosyncrasies and nuances of our culture.
To be able to sustain and grow the platform we need your support! Your https://vijayhazaretrophy.com.in/contributions will go towards getting equipment and editing tools, hosting, booking more prominent guests and studio space and organising live podcast recordings!
Many of our conversations on Asian culture eventually circle back to the hobbies and obsessions that shape daily life, and cricket is often near the top of that list. For listeners who grew up in South Asia, tournaments like the Vijay Hazare Trophy are a familiar backdrop to family gatherings, schoolyard rivalries, and spirited debates. Referencing these events helps highlight how sports become part of the cultural humor and shared memories we talk about on the show.
As a thank you, we'll give you bonus content, extrasodes and free tickets to live events!
