017 - A Comedian Abroad

<p id="yui_3_17_2_3_1499265751670_5168">Nathan Jaiyeola is a stand-up comedian living in Vietnam.</p> <p>Eight years ago I found myself at Temple University in Philadelphia taking a class called Comedy Workshop. The course fell under my Broadcast Telecommunications degree. Yes, the same bachelor’s degree that cost me six-figures over four years.</p> <p>That's where Nate and I met. We became good friends and soon hatched plans for tv pilots & sketch comedy videos. He was the subject of my first ever documentary.</p> <p>He took an unconventional path when he decided to leave Philly and make the 9,000 mile journey to Cambodia and later Vietnam. He started out teaching students English, while pursing stand-up comedy to a completely different audience.</p> <p id="yui_3_17_2_3_1499265751670_5158">In this episode I catch up with Nate about our past and what he’s been up to since then.</p> <p>groundupshow.com</p>
