Lin Sun aka Lintorious: Breaking Barriers and Taking the Mic as The Cambodian Comedy Queen

Lin Sun aka “Lintorious” is a risk-taker. Known for her fearless presence and razor-sharp wit, she has spent years lighting up stages and connecting with crowds like old friends. As the first Cambodian American comedian to secure a one-hour special on Prime Video and a half-hour special on Peacock, Lin takes us inside her humorous and sometimes chaotic journey as a daughter of Cambodian refugees after the g*nocide, a single mother, now recently married, and working her way through the world of comedy.

Lin remembers her childhood when her dad started his own Cambodian American film business and her mom as an actor. When she was 15, her father had abandoned the family, which left Lin to figure out her future plans. She shares her memorable experience running an erotic massage parlor and spending some time in jail for it. Lin takes us into her process of being a comedian, and what she has learned from comedians she looked up to.
