    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"

  • 5 - 05 - Brent Schiess, Damn He Love Comedy

    Comedy around the world isn't just comics, it also involves tons of other people: producers, bookers, promoters, club owners, and fans. In the world of comedy, these kinds of people come in all different kinds of international flavors too. Here at Funny Planet, we want to get to know everyone involved in comedy around the world!

    In our first episode without a comedian as a guest, we interview Brent Schiess! For 15 years Brent has been working with Just For Laughs, the biggest comedy festival in North America, probably the world.

    He's been involved with all kinds of productions, but particularly relevant to us, he was the one behind the comedians on Comedians Of The World on Netflix. He booked the show and knows all about each and every comedian in it.

    The guy is a true comedy fan and really loves what he does. Honestly, talking with him was inspirational. The guy has almost unlimited energy for comedy, for fun, and for comedians.
