Andrew Phung Is a Calgary Superfan
Andrew Phung is a comedian and actor best known for playing Kimchee on the TV show Kim's Convenience, and he's the creator and star of Run the Burbs. But for this conversation, what matters most is that Andrew is a superfan of Calgary, the medium-sized city in Alberta where he grew up. Andrew talks about living the “Canadian dream,” why he chose to set Run the Burbs in his hometown, and why Calgary is an underappreciated comedy city.
