Greg Anderson

Canadian comic, about 12 years in, who started standup in Vietnam after washing out of the poetry scene, did seven years there and a couple more in Bangkok teaching English. Was temporarily banned from flying into Vietnam over a COVID-era residency-card violation and a $740 immigration fine, which is how he ended up stranded in Bangkok. Moved to Austin from Vancouver about two and a half months ago; his riff on Texas friendliness being 'upfront' rather than passive-aggressive genuinely impressed Tony. Mentioned his father recently died of an undiagnosed genetic disease; earned a big joke book for having actual jokes.
