In the year where festivals of any kind are a no-no, a group of Hanoi-based comedians did the impossible and held Vietnam’s 1st ever comedy festival. This week, the Hot Potcast catches up with haha Hanoi, the team behind this impressive feat, to find out what went out during Comedy Oi! 2020. All the highlights wrapped up in a very festive episode with our funny panelists: Nghia Mai, Manh Cuong, Le Kim Thanh, Erick Garcia, Bex and Huy Doan.
