Mok was born in Sweden to a Chinese immigrant family. Her father, Francis Mok, came from British Hong Kong and is currently a retired chef,[4] and her mother is Chinese and grew up in India. Mok jokes that she identified as Indian until she was ten.[5]

Career edit

Mok began performing stand-up in Sweden and later went to England's University of Roehampton as part of the Erasmus Programme.[1] She was a finalist at the Chortle Awards in 2013 and described Andy Kaufman, Demetri Martin and Tony Law as her favourite comics.[6] Comedy Central (Sweden) referred to her as "the Swedish Amy Schumer".[7] Mok performed at every Edinburgh Fringe from 2013-2018.[8]

Mok has appeared on Mock the Week, Hypothetical, Heresy, Off Menu with Ed Gamble and James Acaster and Sam Delaney's News Thing, and has also appeared on Swedish TV.[9]

As an actress, Mok has appeared in Wheel of Time, Spider-Man: Far From Home, I Hate Suzie and The Reluctant Landlord.[10]

From April 2019 to October 2021, she hosted Rice to Meet You, a comedy podcast, with Malaysian comedian Nigel Ng.[11] The final episode, # 130, Hiatus, stated reasons to take a hiatus from the podcast included creative and professional differences to preserve the personal friendship between Mok and Ng.
