Comedy
Helgi Steinar is going to have a movie made about his life one day. The guy is amazing. Born in Iceland, raised in LA & Minnesota, started doing stand-up in China. The guy tells jokes in English, Icelandic, and Mandarin. Zach and Brendon met him while shooting Funny Planet's pilot episode in Reykjavik, where, among other things, he works as a tour guide. HOW MANY HATS CAN ONE GUY WEAR!? We talk about him starting out as a standup in China, growing up in America after a childhood in Iceland, and what comedy does and doesn't translate. Check him out online: Instagram, Facebook, and, for real, an academic textbook written my Helgi, "Explaining the Economic Inconsistencies of China-Iceland Relations: Examining the success of the China-Iceland Free Trade Agreement and the failure of Huang Nubo's land acquisition deal"
