His edgy, but relatable style has made him a popular choice for many different types of audiences: “His voice and onstage demeanor may be soothing, but that doesn’t mean the Actual News host won’t bring a scorching set of well-crafted jokes, hot takes on current events, and a good, healthy dose of social commentary” - Vanyaland Alex has had digital success too: he’s been featured on Comedy Central Asia, Funny or Die, and has been the #1 post on Reddit twice. He’s currently the host of The Actual News on YouTube, and has thousands of followers on Instagram and Twitter.
