About Thanh Hoài
Thanh Hoài, whose full name was Đinh Tiến Hoài, was born on 12 June 1932 and died on 22 December 2014. He was a comic performer from Vietnam and one of the seven figures known as the Thất hài đế, the seven comedy kings of the southern stage before 1975, alongside Thanh Việt, Tùng Lâm, Xuân Phát, Phi Thoàn, Khả Năng and La Thoại Tân.
Each of the seven had his own speciality. Thanh Hoài would twitch his moustache into a satisfied grin, and his slow, thick voice was the part of his stage manner audiences remembered.
