Concert «Tam Giác Đa Chiều»: Mew Amazing, BB Trần, Thuận Nguyễn at Cat&Mouse

   Mew Amazing writes songs everyone has sung and few would recognise him for. BB Trần is a comedian and a television face. Thuận Nguyễn is an actor. The night they share is called «Tam Giác Đa Chiều» — the multi-dimensional triangle.

   The title is literal: three people from three trades on one stage. Evenings like this in Vietnam rest on talk and the stories between songs rather than a tidy set list, which is exactly why they are booked into small rooms.

   The essentials:

   — Cat&Mouse is a live house with tables and a live band;
   — all three appear on the same night, with the programme built jointly;
   — the room is small, seating numbered, the stage low and close;
   — the venue serves food and drink; outside food is not allowed.

   Come if you want the Vietnamese scene without the gloss: there is a lot of talking, joking and explaining where a song came from. If you understand Vietnamese this is the best format there is; if you do not, part of the evening will pass you by, which is worth knowing in advance.

   On tickets: sold through ticketbox, the lowest tier from 900,000 VND, with sectors differing in price.

   The venue is on Phạm Ngọc Thạch by Turtle Lake, in a district that stays open late after the show.

   One evening and three people usually seen separately. If you are in Ho Chi Minh City this Friday, book ahead — the room is small.
