In 1999 (nominal age 32), she turned her experience on the sitcom All-American Girl into her first one-woman show, I'm the One That I Want, which won New York magazine's Performance of the Year award. In the annual Four Transformations of 1999, Tian Liang takes Hua Ke (Transformation of Fame) and enters her natal Career Palace, which holds Tian Liang (Miao). The Career Palace covers work, and Hua Ke stands for reputation and recognition, which lines up with the praise for her work that year.

Her parents ran Paperback Traffic, a bookstore on Castro Street in San Francisco, and she took up stand-up after a few performances at a club next door to the shop. She has discussed her relationship with her mother openly and imitated her mother's heavily accented speech, and her depictions of "Mommy" have become a popular part of her routine. Her Parents Palace holds Zi Wei (Wang) and Tan Lang (Li) with Hua Lu (Transformation of Wealth). The Parents Palace covers parents, and Hua Lu means benefits; her parents becoming both her material and her starting point matches these stars.
