Ep. 22 Comic Peng Dang tells American jokes like a native, learned English from listening to rock

<p><span class="style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto">Peng Dang is a standup comedian based in Texas. Peng moved to the US from China in his twenties, speaks absolutely impeccable English, and more importantly, tells jokes like a local pro. I find his sets funny, educational, and wholesome. I’m not sure if a comedian wants to hear their jokes described as “wholesome,” but I mean that as a compliment.</span></p> <p><span class="style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto">We talked about how his English got to be so good, what life was like for him in Alabama, Atlanta and Dallas, how he honed his comedic skills, his views on "freedom of safety" on China's streets, the infamous Tony Hinchcliffe incident, and more.</span></p> <p><span class="style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto">I hope you enjoy listening to this episode.
