Alexandre Duong

Alex Duong is a Los Angeles-based comedian, writer, and actor. He is the youngest of six children of Huong Thanh Le (tailor) and Noul Van Duong (machinist). Alex is of Vietnamese and Chinese heritage. He grew up in Dallas, Texas where he attended Skyline High School and eventually North Dallas High where he graduated and went on to pursue a degree in medicine.

His writings on the Vietnam War gained him a full-scholarship and eventually a meeting with producers in Orange County, CA. With the mild support of his parents, Duong left school to pursue a feature development deal with Melody Phan of Zenoost Media. The project "Enchanted Melody" ran into financing troubles and never found its way to theaters. The screenplay was turned into a stage play and was showcased at The East West Players Theatre in Downtown Los Angeles.

Today, Alex continues to write, act, and perform stand-up all over the country. His most recent accomplishments include writing for Netflix's Historical Roast With Jeff Ross and becoming the first Vietnamese cis-male to perform on Comedy Central (Roast Battle Season 3). He lives with his wife in Los Angeles where they continue the pursuit of the best bowl of pho.
