Amy Yu is a bilingual standup comedian based in Canada. We talked about how standup comedy changed her life, how she thinks about telling jokes in Chinese vs telling in English, and how to properly tell a dirty joke. I also had a pretty serious debate with her about the role of artificial intelligence in comedy. 0:00 Amy’s standup set 01:04 Debating the role of AI in art creation 22:31 How comedy helped Amy with mental health 28:17 How to deal with bombing on stage 31:48 Amy’s (and Richard’s) comedic influences 37:02 Telling jokes in Chinese vs English 38:32 Jokes about going on a date with a Chinese American 39:40 Blue material
