Rewind: Discover How Vũ Minh Tú Became Vietnam's Raunchiest Comedian | S2 Ep 1

The first episode of Season 2 is 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.LinksSaigon Support GroupThe Beautiful Mind Group-------------------Theme music composed by Lewis Wright.Main Cover Art designed by Niall Mackay and Le Nguyen.Episode art designed by Niall Mackay, with pictures supplied by guests and used with permission."Send me a message!"Support the show🎙️ Recorded at Saigon Podcast Studio!👉 www.saigonpodcaststudio.com🎙️ Start Your Podcast Today!👉 Book a FREE Discovery Call with me and let’s bring your idea to life!🎥 Edit Videos Like a Pro with Descript!👉 I use Descript to create my content—try it for FREE here:🔒 Protect Your Privacy with NordVPN!👉 G"Send me a message!"Support the show🎙️ Recorded at Saigon Podcast Studio!👉  www.saigonpodcaststudio.com🎙️ Start Your Podcast Today!👉 Book a FREE Discovery Call with me and let’s bring your idea to life! 🎥 Edit Videos Like a Pro with Descript!👉 I use Descript to create my content—try it for FREE here: 🔒 Protect Your Privacy with NordVPN!👉 Get 70% OFF their 2-year plan and enjoy a secure, ad-free internet! These are affiliate links, and I’ll earn a small commission if you sign up, at no extra cost to you.✅ Subscribe for More!If you enjoy content about life in Vietnam, food adventures, and great conversations, hit that subscribe button.📸 Follow Me on Instagram 🌐 Visit My Website 🎉 Join Our Community!

Rewind: Việt Kiều Texan, Splicing Mexican and Vietnamese Foods, Lê Minh Tâm

Tâm is the first listener-suggested guest, thanks to regular listener, Brandon Coleman. Tâm is an entertaining and interesting guest that has an in-depth story and many insights to share about life in Saigon, which can be seen by the length of this episode. Born in Texas to Vietnamese refugees, Tâm moved to Saigon after a stint in Singapore. Here in Saigon she worked at an international branding agency but soon started creating Vietnamese-Mexican dishes and hosting dinners out of her apartment, creating a closed-door restaurant named Saigonita. Soon Saigonita appeared in Vice Munchies and was profiled in Saigoneer so she decided to quit her corporate career to pursue her passion in food. Since then, she's been interviewed by publications in Vietnam, Singapore, the US, Italy, France; and has given a TEDx Talk. She is currently getting to more deeply know her roots and explore Vietnam's culinary scene through travels around the country.-------------------Theme music composed by Lewis Wright.Main Cover Art designed by Niall Mackay and Le Nguyen.Episode art designed by Niall Mackay, with pictures supplied by guests and used with permission."Send me a message!"Support the show🎙️ Recorded at Saigon Podcast Studio!👉 www.saigonpodcaststudio.com🎙️ Start Your Podcast Today!👉 Book a FREE Discovery Call with me and let’s bring your idea to life!🎥 Edit Videos Like a Pro with Descript!👉 I use Descript to create my content—try it for FREE here:🔒 Protect Your Privacy with NordVPN!👉 Get 70% OFF their 2-year plan and enjoy a secure, ad-free internet!These are affiliate links, and I’ll earn a small commission if you sign up, at no extra cost to you.✅ Subscribe for More!If you enjoy content about life in Vietnam, food adventures, and great conversations, hit that subscribe button.📸 Follow Me on Instagram 🌐 Visit My Website 🎉 Join O"Send me a message!"Support the show🎙️ Recorded at Saigon Podcast Studio!👉  www.saigonpodcaststudio.com🎙️ Start Your Podcast Today!👉 Book a FREE Discovery Call with me and let’s bring your idea to life! 🎥 Edit Videos Like a Pro with Descript!👉 I use Descript to create my content—try it for FREE here: 🔒 Protect Your Privacy with NordVPN!👉 Get 70% OFF their 2-year plan and enjoy a secure, ad-free internet! These are affiliate links, and I’ll earn a small commission if you sign up, at no extra cost to you.✅ Subscribe for More!If you enjoy content about life in Vietnam, food adventures, and great conversations, hit that subscribe button.📸 Follow Me on Instagram 🌐 Visit My Website 🎉 Join Our Community!
