Ever heard a joke and wondered, “Did That Really Happen?”My name’s Niall Mackay, host of A Vietnam Podcast and a comedian... long before I ever started comedy, when I heard comedians tell the craziest, funniest stories I would always wonder just that. And if I got a chance to meet them after the show I would always ask “Did That Really Happen?” … and 9 times out of 10 the answer was “Yes!”But the difference between sharing a story with friends and telling it on stage is a comedian’s ability to take those moments and craft them into a well worked joke. In each episode of this podcast we’ll talk to comedians from around the world, play you one of their jokes, then ask them, “Did That Really Happen?In this episode I'm talking to Kelso Dowling who has been charming hearts and turning open mics into open relationships since beginning their stand-up journey in Hanoi. This Washington DC native, silver fox wannabe, daddy-questioning queer just likes telling telling tHeiR TrUtH so you laugh. They’re all about consent.

Did Kelso Dowling Really Get Ridiculed For Working On A Wall Street Trading Floor?

The first guest of A Vietnam Podcast Season 5 is Kelso Dowling. Kelso, one of the newest comics in the burgeoning Saigon comedy scene, moved to Vietnam after a trip around Southeast Asia, and, having spent much of their formative years bouncing around the States and beyond on the “military brat” circuit,  Kelso once again uprooted themself and settled in Hanoi. They recently made the move from Hanoi, but don’t bother asking which is better - “they’re just different.” After only 18 months of doing stand-up comedy, Kelso has honed their style to approach weighty topics with an air of breezy honesty and self-awareness.  On stage, Kelso can be seen breaking down social constructs around gender, consent and monogamy, skillfully navigating that territory from behind the mic.  Sobriety has also found a place in their life and, naturally, their set - and they’ve perhaps found it a bit easier to grapple with onstage than in the minefield of dating. “I never realized how much I relied on alcohol to flirt.”On January 16th Kelso will be The Headliner at 1920 Prohibition Bar in D1, performing her longest set yet.
