The Live Show - What can you joke about in comedy today? With Uy Nguyen, Jesús López and Angee the Diva
Vietnam Podcast: Culture, Community & Conversations
Shownotes Transcript
The first ever live show of Seven Million Bikes; A Saigon Podcast, recorded live at Soma Art Lounge in D2, HCMC.
I am so sorry, the recording cut out with about 10-15 mins left of the show! I have no idea why. If you are in HCMC look out for the next live show to avoid disappointment.
The panel discussed comedy in the current PC era and post #metoo era. Is comedy being stifled or do comedians need to adapt to stay funny without offending? Or are audiences too sensitive?
The panel consisted of Angee the Diva, Uy Nguyễn and Jesús López II.
