#133 Danny Tran 02/28/2025

#133 Danny Tran Danny Tran is a stand-up comic that recently transplanted to Dallas, TX and is quickly making a name for himself in the local comedy scene and in other clubs around the country. Danny is one of the few comics that I knew very little about before bringing him. on the show. The only thing I knew for sure is that he is a funny stand-up comic. By chance I wore my 2024 Dallas marathon shirt only to discover that Danny and I both ran the same marathon before meeting each other. I also spent a decent amount of time explaining to him that I think he should attempt to write and perform comedy in Vietnamese for Vietnamese Americans. Time will tell if he thought this was a good idea. And of course we talk a lot about comedy. Be sure to check out Danny live but for now, enjoy the show!
