We all deserve a few laughs after the years just passed.  So to discover there is a “happening” Comedy Scene in Saigon, I thought this has got to go on the MUST DO things during your stay in this vibrant city.

That’s the amazing thing about Vietnam. Despite everything it gets thrown from Covid to typhoons…it always finds ways to astound you!

So, let's kick off the year with a podcast that talks about entertainment, and more to the point - fun and laughter in the bustling city of Saigon.

Let me introduce you to my guest -  Niall Mackay.

Niall is no stranger to the comedy scene in Saigon having lived in Saigon since 2016. A well known Stand Up Comedian, and Podcaster of his own Vietnam podcast “Seven Million bikes”, and “Did that really happen?”, he is ideally placed to talk about the evolution of comedy in Saigon. He tells us how he and his wife fell in love with Vietnam however, in the early days, they struggled to find good live comedy entertainment. So he set about to fix that.

Niall takes us through some great stories of how the comedy scene has matured with some surprising talent and venues.  As an organiser, promoter, and comedian himself he shares with us the bevy of talent coming through. From local Vietnamese doing English speaking comedy, to the many Expats who also relish the chance to jump on stage and bring the house down.

Niall, as he will attest to, is still weathering the Covid storm of openings and lockdowns, but hopes to be back on stage next week. If nothing else this podcast will help you truly appreciate the background and effort that goes into the shows. It will certainly give you a personal insight, and a good reason to cheer him on and say hello when you possibly meet him!
