Despite having a strong comedic voice and the smarts for it, she still finds that working in the industry is no laughing matter. She joked about how she went from a lucrative lawyer's salary of six figures to"a salary of no figures" when she first started in comedy. Chia uses Asian stereotypes for thought-provoking gags and raunchy anecdotes, delivered with a disarming, cheeky style.
Chia said, with a laugh:"She was so bored at one of my shows that she jokingly asked me if it was too late for me to go back to law."She has not escaped sexism and racism, but happily, after she spoke out and also displayed her talent, she earned the respect of her peers.
