He is also attempting a Guinness World Record for…largest gathering of people dressed as Uncle Roger.
The popular YouTuber and comedian had initially opened registrations for the event, but slots have all now been taken, with the first 300 people to register getting a free orange polo shirt, phone belt case and limited edition tote bags with discount vouchers.
You can still come and aid the record attempt by coming dressed in a complete Uncle Roger costume: “plain orange polo shirt, black phone belt case, long black pants, black or white sneakers”.

“Come come! Let’s make history together. Fuiyoh!” he exhorts in the event promo page.
As to what to expect at the restaurant, he says fans should look forward to the food.
“The team and I have been eating so much fried rice wok hei is now my favorite cologne. We’re all really proud of the food we’re putting out.”
The comedian also thanks his fans or as he calls them, ‘nephews and nieces’, for their support and will next be headed to do shows at Delhi, Taipei and Dubai.
