So many "China podcasts" are just that – about Chinese history, politics or other, similarly wonky subjects. Not that there's anything wrong with that (we love us some history) but, sometimes, we yearn for the lighter side of China  –and now, Kung Fu Komedy has delivered. To see their previous podcasts, click here.

This week, the Kung Fu Komedy krew chat with Jesse Appell.

According to KFK:

Jesse Appell’s an American comedian living in Beijing who did a Fulbright scholarship on comedy in China.

Jesse initially gained notoriety making the popular parody video Laowai Style and currently produces the web series The Great LOL of China. He’s a workhorse of comedy performing in English and Chinese, stand up and improv and he’s even an apprentice of the traditional Chinese comedy called Xiansheng.

Every week, Andy Curtain tracks down the most interesting person he can find and asks them what they're doing in China. To subscribe, add the Stuck in the Middle podcast on iTunes, or copy this link to use in your favorite podcatcher app.
