Jan Lamb Hoi Fong (born 28 January 1967) is a DJ, pop singer and actor in Hong Kong. Jan is the elder brother of actor/DJ/game host Jerry Lamb and younger brother of singer and radio personality Sandy Lamb. He formed a comedic musical duo during the late 1980s with fellow actor and comedian Eric Kot, called 'Softhard' (軟硬天師). His wife Cass Phang is one of the famous female singers of the 1990s.
Radio DJ
He is one of the DJ's for Commercial Radio 2 (CR2), hosting several successful programmes since the 1990s. His most current one On a Clear Day is a 2-hour morning show which airs from 8 to 10am from Monday to Friday on CR2. This two-hour programme is hosted by Jan Lamb, Matt Chow and Michelle Lo.[1]
Stand-up Comedy
In 2005 Jan gave a successful series of stand-up comedy shows (林海峰是但噏發花癲), which all sold out. Jan also released a new song album which has sold very well to the extent that he has been nominated for the "best male singer award" by Chik Chak 903 (叱吒903). He also wrote many parody songs and uses them on his comedy routines.
In 17–22, 26 September 2009, there will be another talk show under the Stand-up Comedy Series, namely "Yes, I Do 3omething" (林海峰是但噏我願意). It would take place in the Hong Kong Stadium.
TV commercials
Jan Lamb lends his voice to a huge number of television commercials in Hong Kong. One of his most successful commercials was for Gummi Mini Burgers, which was made up of a dialogue script of only one phrase repeated three times. The script read '食多啲 食多啲 食多啲啦' which literally meant 'Eat More, Eat More, Eat More!'. Jan Lamb also dubbed the Cantonese version of the Hong Kong Disneyland grand opening commercial.
As Softhard, he was also a part of a TV advertising campaign for McDonald's Hong Kong with Janice Vidal and Charles Ying.
Education
He is an alumnus of St. Teresa's School Kowloon and St. Joseph's College, Hong Kong.
