#168 - A tale of Two Comedy OGs
Tuesday May 07, 2024
Tuesday May 07, 2024
Vivek Mahbubani and Chris Musni started off in the world of stand up comedy in Hong Kong at around the same time, but different personalities, obstacles and joke-writing styles have lead them to different paths in the world of comedy. In this episode they go deep into how their comedy fates have differed over the years with Vivek having just returned from his Australia and New Zealand tour and Chris gearing up to take his comedy to another level here in Hong Kong. Mohammed is missing from this episode because he's busy in Australia with Annie Louey performing comedy... and cuddling?
