The Bánh Mì Chronicles

For this week's Season 1, Episode 9, Huy Nguyen and Mickael Van Pham sit down and chat about their different paths going into comedy and theater.  They perform together as a comedy improv duo called "Fish Sauce." As 2nd generation Viet-Americans, they navigated through the assimilation process growing up in communities unfamiliar to their family. They share their family's reaction when they decided to pursue their own career in the arts after spending time as corporate professionals. Through their recent journey into comedy and theater, they share their hopes and ambitions of breaking into a field that has long ignored Asian-Pacific Islander folks. Check this episode out
