Saigon Teu

The first professional Vietnamese-language stand-up comedy group in Vietnam, founded in April 2020, touring venues across Ho Chi Minh City rather than keeping its own stage.

Saigon Teu is the first professional Vietnamese-language stand-up comedy group in Vietnam, founded in April 2020 and regarded as a pioneering force shaping contemporary stand-up comedy culture in the country. Its leader and creative director is Uy Le, who spent five years in advertising (as art director and brand manager) before devoting himself to building the brand and the Vietnamese stand-up comedy scene. The group currently has around 20 members, ten of whom perform, with the rest handling production and post-production; the names mentioned include Minh Ti, Khang Hi, Trong Phan, Trung Coffee, Nhi Vo, Huynh Khanh, Lam Truong Giang and Dang Hoa, each with their own storytelling style. Saigon Teu works in two main forms: solo stand-up (each member writes and performs their own material) and improv comedy (unscripted improvised theatre). The group has no fixed stage and instead stages shows at various venues around Ho Chi Minh City - for example an April 2024 show at the Youth Cultural House hall (04 Pham Ngoc Thach, District 1, tickets 150,000-350,000 VND depending on seat, 16+), a December 2024 show at Saigon Kick Live Music Cafe & Bar (68A Dong Nai, Ward 15, District 10), and a June-July 2026 run at Nu Cuoi Theatre (565 Kinh Duong Vuong, An Lac, Binh Tan). In 2025 the group staged "Half a Decade", a show marking its fifth anniversary.
