The great outdoors is overrated, says Ivy Le, a comedian and podcaster from Austin, Texas. Ivy, a self-admitted indoorswoman, took on camping, and then hunting, as a sort of exercise in reverse colonialism. Ivy is Asian, you see, as well as a bisexual Buddhist mom with allergies, and she couldn’t see herself, or anyone like her, in a tent in the woods with a gun, ready to butcher and eat whatever she catches. So she set out to see what she was missing, and the result is FOGO - Fear of Going Outside, a hilarious and eye-opening look at nature by someone who finds it unnatural.

Ivy Le is Vietnamese American comedian from Austin, Texas. She’s a first generation college grad who speaks Spanish, German, Vietnamese and English. She’s also a reporter, a poet, and a bi mom of two kids who is on a mission to queer up comedy and decolonize everything. She has performed at the Laugh After Dark Comedy Fest, Tower City Comedy Fest, Lysistrata Comedy Festival and more! Her podcast FOGO - Fear of Going Outside is available here.
