    Chu Yingnan

    In this last ever episode of NSFP we talk to Chu Yingnan from the University of Exeter about her research on how stand up comedy is used to challenge anti-Asian racism. She talks to us about culture shocks, her own experiences of stand up comedy, and meeting Evelyn Mok! The episode was originally recorded in summer 2021, so the Phil Wang special we discuss is actually already on Netflix. Hosted by Ana and Georgia. The music is Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicon. #PhD #research #standupcomedy #EvelynMok #PhilWang
