Alone as an American in China with Gus Tate
This week we are joined by Gus Tate. Originally from Lexington, KY, Gus Tate started performing stand-up in China in 2013, slinging jokes to international crowds of expats and locals in Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong before arriving in the world comedy capital of New York. Since then, Gus has performed around the U.S. at the Boston Comedy Festival, Gilda's LaughFest, Hoboken Comedy Festival, DC Comedy Festival, Rogue Island Comedy Festival, and Big Sky Comedy Festival. His videos have been viewed millions of times on Instagram and TikTok, and he's taping his debut comedy special November 6th at New York Comedy Club. Make sure to check him out! In this episode we discuss growing up in Kentucky, going to Princeton, spending seven years in China, not being able to blend in, parenthood, comedy, and so much more. You don’t want to miss our discussion about the comedy scene in Beijing and Hong Kong. Give this episode a listen!
