From the organizer: Lauded Canadian comedian, singer-songwriter and actor Phil Nichol will be performing at Game On Saigon on Friday, May 12.

One of the best loved stand-ups on the UK live circuit, Phil has done everything. TV, huge theatre shows, sellout Edinburgh fringe appearances, lots of awards and champagne receptions with the Queen. We saw him recently headlining the Comedy Store in London, and he was phenomenal.

Here are some of the quotes:

“Seismically powerful award-winning comic force” — The Scotsman

“Riotously funny-and filthy” — The Sunday Telegraph

“Edgy in a cartoonish way” — The Independent

“A Triumph” — The Sunday Times

“Hugely enjoyable” — Time Out

Mo Sidik

Accompanying Phil will be Indonesian homegrown comic Mo Sidik. A professional radio personality and MC since 1995, Mo has been doing stand-up comedy in English and Bahasa Indonesia full-time since 2011.

He will be bringing to Saigon excerpts of his show, Fattitude, which offers a hysterical glimpse into the trials and tribulations of a man who is overweight and yet loves life and its challenges. Expect to hear about fat shaming and bullying, the joys of eating desserts, breaking items and how to enjoy attention.

The MC for the night is Saigon-based US comic Adam Palmeter, and entrance to the show is VND200,000 in advance and VND250,000 on the door. Doors are at 8pm.
