Miya Chan

about

Miya Chan is a writer and comedian. Born in Hsinchu, Taiwan, Miya always hoped she could escape from her shithole town and do something other than trivial laboring. When she was 11, her parents moved to Miaoli, an even shittier shithole on that ghost island. Being too young to apply for 90 days fiancé, Miya faked her 9th grade transcript and became a foreign exchange student in Vevay, Indiana - the shittiest shithole she has ever lived in. After being trapped in all types of shitholes, Miya decided to move to California to pursue her bachelor's degree in English literature. After completing 98% of her undergraduate program at the University of California, Los Angeles, Miya realized colonialism was not her fault, and so were slavery and WWII. She moved to Austin in mid-2022, because gas was never 7 dollars per gallon in Texas. Miya speaks English, Mandarin, and Taiwanese Hokkien.
