Ho Ho Hong Kong Mohammed Magdi & Vivek Mahbubani

Vivek Mahbubani and Chris Musni started off in the world of stand up comedy in Hong Kong at around the same time, but different personalities, obstacles and joke-writing styles have lead them to different paths in the world of comedy. In this episode they go deep into how their comedy fates have differed over the years with Vivek having just returned from his Australia and New Zealand tour and Chris gearing up to take his comedy to another level here in Hong Kong. Mohammed is missing from this episode because he's busy in Australia with Annie Louey performing comedy... and cuddling?

We wrap up our run at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2024 and we sit down to debrief and reflect on the past couple of weeks. Annie and Mohammed's show "Too Haram To Handle" received 3 reviews and they are all wildly different from each other. We go through them one by one, including a review we never read before the episode recording.

On this week's episode, Vivek is dealing with handymen invading his house and installing a hanging bamboo scaffolding platform through his living room's window on the xxth floor! The hanging bamboo scaffolding is a pretty common practice in Hong Kong, but there is something particularly dangerous about those hanging ones, not erected from the street level up.
