In this episode, I sit down with Will Pepper, a Vietnamese-American stand-up comedian based in Los Angeles, CA, whose name is just as memorable as his punchlines. We kick things off by digging into his background, where he’s from, and how growing up Vietnamese shaped his perspective. Will shares what drew him into comedy and why making people laugh became his calling, blending his personal experiences with the universal humor of everyday life.Our conversation doesn’t stop at comedy. We wander into food, music, family quirks, and the uniquely “Vietnamese” things that every Vietnamese household seems to do—like hocking out loogies at a stop light and how to handle passing out toothpicks. Will keeps it playful with sharp, witty banter, and we trade stories that highlight both the fun and the challenges of growing up between cultures.We also dive into his dating life in L.A., his favorite comedy movies, and his adventures traveling the world, which give him even more material for the stage. It’s a lighthearted, funny, and relatable conversation that celebrates identity, creativity, and the everyday humor in Vietnamese-American life.Be sure to follow Will on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/willpeppercomedy/and check out his Youtube too: https://www.youtube.com/@willpeppercomedy/featuredAnd don't forget to snag your Walmak gear at AlwaysWalmak.comAnd follow me on IG at: walmak.podcast-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Tập 4: Will Pepper – Hài độc thoại và Những thói quen "Rất Việt Nam"Trong tập này, tôi trò chuyện với Will Pepper, một diễn viên hài độc thoại người Mỹ gốc Việt tại Los Angeles.
