Edgar took a meandering path to comedy, avoiding as many potholes as he could along the way. He worked at grocery stores, Kopp's Frozen Custard and The Coffee Trader in Milwaukee before embarking on a career in television. He worked at WISN (Milwaukee, WI) before embracing an Emmy's internship in Hollywood. He worked for Miramax films— the house that Tarantino built— before returning to television news. He was then a news anchor and reporter at WMBD (Peoria, IL), KSBW (Monterey, CA) and WEEK (Peoria, IL). He left that profession for corporate communications, where he worked hosting events and trade shows, writing, producing, doing on camera work and voice overs. Edgar started performing stand up comedy in 2016.
Starting in August 2023, you'll see him back on 25News (WEEK-TV - NBC in Peoria Bloomington) hosting the station's weekly restaurant review segment -
You Gotta Eat.

Edgar has a confident swagger and a calm, cool and collected demeanor. He is relaxed and well-spoken. He talks about being a second-generation Asian-American, maintaining the spark in a more than 20-year relationship, racism, and family foibles. His act is clean and clever. He pokes fun at himself and the environment around him. He has good comedy instincts and a commanding stage presence.
Edgar has headlined at the Jukebox Comedy Club in Peoria and Mason City Limits Comedy Club in Mason City and is a regular feature at Donnie B's in Springfield and for C-U Comedy in Champaign/Urbana. He also does showcases for Blo-No Comedy (Bloomington/Normal), Belly Laffs and Yuk Off Comedy (Springfield).
