He made a living selling sports souvenirs at Madison Square Garden, and in later years, working at a chain of men's clothing stores around New York City. At nights, Jami performed stand-up comedy, although he did not perform from 1993 to 1999 as a result of a poor autism-induced performance that affected his confidence. He returned to stand-up after vowing to his sick grandmother that he would live life to the fullest.[4] In 1999, Jami, along with several friends, created www.ChinatownNYC.com, a website featuring information about Chinatown.[5] Jami also became a licensed tour guide and conducted acclaimed[6] walking tours in Chinatown. Later, Jami made stand-up comedy his full-time profession. He has appeared at comedy clubs all over the world, as well as on Late Night with Conan O'Brien.[7] In 2005, Jami produced the first National Asian Comedy tour, and also took the tour overseas to Asia.[8] In February 2007, Jami founded The TakeOut Comedy Club Hong Kong, which is the first full-time comedy club in Asia.[9] In 2009, the club expanded its operations to conduct shows in Macau and the Philippines. MiscellaneousIn 1995, Jami was knighted by the country of Malta.[10] In 2004, Jami carried the Olympic flame through Lower Manhattan as an official torchbearer for the 2004 Summer Olympics.[11] References1. ^"Featured Profiles", Aprofiler 2. ^[https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=980DE7DD1739F93BA25755C0A9629C8B63 "PUBLIC LIVES; Carrying a Torch for Chinatown, and for Comedy", The New York Times] June 18, 2004 3. ^http://www.takeoutcomedy.com 4. ^[https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=980DE7DD1739F93BA25755C0A9629C8B63 "PUBLIC LIVES; Carrying a Torch for Chinatown, and for Comedy", The New York Times] June 18, 2004 5. ^http://www.takeoutcomedy.com 6. ^http://www.jaunted.com/story/2007/10/1/163053/175/travel/iPod+Audio+Tours+Taking+Over+New+York 7. ^http://www.takeoutcomedy.com 8. ^http://www.coolinyourcode.com/jami-gong/ 9. ^"Stand and Deliver", South China Morning Post 10. ^http://www.takeoutcomedy.com 11. ^[https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=980DE7DD1739F93BA25755C0A9629C8B63 "PUBLIC LIVES; Carrying a Torch for Chinatown, and for Comedy", The New York Times] June 18, 2004 External links
