Fake News Euphemisms, Vegetable Fight and Stand-up Comedian Vu Minh Tu
Saigoneer Podcast - A podcast by Saigoneer

Categories:
This week we begin (1:20) with a game based on news euphemisms created by local officials - for example, 'water accumulation' instead of flooding and 'not-on-time service' instead of a delayed flight. We came up with a few fake headlines featuring our own made-up euphemisms and tried to guess what they meant. Then (9:16), we debate our favorite and least-favorite types of vegetables, a companion segment to our fruit argument from a few months ago. Our interview segment (20:52)features Vu Minh Tu, a hilarious stand-up comedian from Hanoi who has been performing in Saigon for the last nine months. She got real about the reasons why she got into stand-up, as well as how the scene has evolved here. Follow the Saigon Funny People Facebook page to find out when she's performing next: https://www.facebook.com/saigonfunnypeople/ As always, we close with Banh Mi Banter (32:45).
