Vietnam Podcast: Culture, Community & Conversations
Vũ Minh Tú LIVE - Vietnam's Raunchiest Comedian - The Tavern, D7, June 2019
Vietnam's raunchiest comedian live at The Tavern, Phu My Hung, D7 - June 2019
----------
The first episode of Season 2 was with Saigon Funny People co-founder and resident cat lady, Vu Minh Tu!
Hanoi-born, Saigon-based Tu is a comedy force to be reckoned with. An established performer on the Vietnam circuit, her style can be described as like any stereotypical Asian female: passive aggressive. Tu's hilarious jokes at shows across the region have seen her collect numerous awards including first place in the Roosters Beer Comedy Competition in Saigon, as well as the usual free beers and rounds of applause. Her family doesn't think she is funny, which is why they are never invited to shows.
We talk about the differences between Hanoi and Saigon, what it's like to be a risqué, Vietnamese and female comedian, doing comedy in a second language, and Tu's ongoing journey with depression. Below are recommended links from Tu if you need support with your mental health.
