Jocelyn Chia defends comedy routine, says needs to be taken in context


PETALING JAYA: Stand-up comedian Jocelyn Chia has defended the performance in which she made a joke about the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, saying that her show should be seen in its entirety.

She said the performance at a Manhattan comedy club was a routine she had performed "more than 100 times" before and the particular joke which caused a furore should be seen in the necessary context or it would be missed.
