Bad Sets, Good Stories: Expat Stand-Up in China — ft. Jordan from Austin

Austin-born comic Jordan joins host Root to unpack nearly a decade in China—Chengdu heat to Shanghai nights—and what it taught him about writing tighter jokes, handling tough rooms, and keeping stand-up fun. We hit on hero influences, the fine line between a good roast and being a jerk, and why new comics should start with themselves. Plus quick hits on open-mic culture China vs. U.S., learning Chinese, food obsessions, and staying sane onstage.Follow, rate, and tell us who to invite next!
