Comedy lives in Beijing!
This Episode, recorded on Wednesday, February 9, 2022, sees me sit down with writer and comedian Donnie Fan. A self-described “mixed blood of Chinese descent” hailing from New York, Donnie has found a new home here in Beijing China. Fresh off of the production of his first tragedy, Medea, based on the play by Euripides, Donnie is now focusing his efforts of developing his own hour-long stand up routine which he plans to take across the country. Here we talk about what it’s like to live in Beijing and China, how long we’ve each been here (very similar!), what keeps us here and what Donnie wants to work on going forward. This is a funny one as Donnie has plenty of stories to share about his life here in China!
You can find Donnie on several Chinese social media outlets including Weibo and WeChat in addition to the usual Western social media outlets, including Instagram and Facebook. Or get in touch with Donnie through his website, donniefan.com.
