Patricia Mok is one of the rare few female comedians in the local entertainment scene. This model-turned-comedienne was scouted by local filmmaker Jack Neo in 1996 and became a household name with her portrayal of loud-mouthed shrews and uncouth "Ah Lians" on Comedy Nite. Mok has since established herself as a competent host and a versatile actress, having been awarded Best Supporting Actress at Star Awards 2003 for playing a dowdy and meek wife in the drama Holland V.
