Vera Chok

Vera (they/she) is a queer Malaysian-Chinese actor, funny-person, poet and dogmum. They are both Disruptor and Homemaker.
Best known as a co-author of The Good Immigrant, Vera wrote the chapter, Yellow, which exploded ideas around “East Asiannss”.
Vera has been published by The Guardian, Bloomsbury, and Brain Mill Press, and in Rising and Transect magazine. They have been commissioned by The Roundhouse, CNN, WeTransfer, and
Hakkasan Group, and funded by The British Council. Their writing has been performed at The Roundhouse, Shakespeare North, Rich Mix, and at Byline,
Stoke Newington, Dinefwr, Cambridge, and Bare Lit Festivals. Vera is also a regular participant and sometimes champion of Varjack & Simpson’s Anti-Slam.
Vera co-founded The Brautigan Book Club, was a resident artist at the Bethnal Green Working Men’s Club, and the actor who played Honour Chen-Williams, head of the first ever East Asian
family in any UK continuing drama. They produce both gently joyful happenings and mischievous, chaotic celebrations to platform historically marginalised groups.
