#115: "All the World's A Market!" with Sam Oh, Korean-American comic, writer, and vocalist

In this episode, we chat with Sam Oh about his upbringing in Los Angeles by Korean Christian immigrants; the gay allegory that is Hannah Montana; skincare; comedy; and how it's ok for underrepresented communities to be ugly and unlikable! .... Sam Oh is a writer and comedian from Los Angeles (well technically The Valley which like, totally counts!) An alum of the WarnerMedia Access Writers Program and NBC's Late Night Writers Workshop, he most recently worked on the reboot of Frasier for Paramount+. As a queer child of Korean Christian immigrants, Oh had no choice but to develop a sense of humor. He got his start as a teenager doing open-mics all over LA and taking sketch and improv at UCB, later writing on Maude Night. His scripts have placed in numerous industry competitions, including the Top 50 of the Academy Nicholl Fellowship. He’s performed at SF Sketchfest, Union Hall NY, The Elysian Theater and currently hosts the musical comedy revue, “Adler & Oh.” Oh performs comedic music as his hyper-sexual pop star alter ego, GAY VIRGIN.
