There is a Comedy Festival that has been going on for almost a month at Jaya One, Pj, where they staged many comedy theatre throughtout the month of May. Some are for kids, some are adults only. And for the final stretch of the festival, they are staging a show called Caught In the Middle: Part 4, and I got free invites to watch a special preview of it (I'm beginning to love getting showered with all these free invites).
The performances for the festival includes famous local comedian like Harith Iskandar, Ida Nerina and Douglas Lim to name a few..
I got 2 free ticket, and decided to bring Sofia, but we decided to drag Azrin and Hazren (heh.their name rhymes!)
At the ticket booth,
Me : Do you sell any extra tickets for the show tonight?
Ticket Lady : Yes, yes we do.
Me : I need 2. How much?
Ticket Lady : 1, 5 ringgit. 2, 10 ringgit.
Me : I'll take it for RM 8 *big smile and droopy eyes*
Ticket Lady : *thinking* OK!
Darn it, should have said RM5!
It was held at PJLiveArts which is a new place for theatre performances, but it was suprisingly small (my first time there).
Before the show,
Azrin : Is this a stand up or a theatre
Me : Its a theatre.
Azrin : Wait, so we can't laugh??
Me : Its a comedy festival, laugh all u want
Azrin : But it's a show!!
Me : *cricket sound*
The show that I watched was more about "political issue", so sometimes, when the whole room laughed at something they said, I looked around, confused, with many many 'huh' and 'what??' moments. They made jokes of everyting from politics to politicians, from opposing party to the government. Its good that they are not bias towards just one party, instead all of them got a taste of their sarcastic-sometimes-'ouch' jokes. From the beginning, I was not given 5 minutes to not laugh. I guess the professional actors and actresses who have decades of experience in theatrical performance, made the whole thing very relaxed, natural and it almost looked unscripted.
Among great actors for this performace was Zaibo and Mano Maniam..
This show will go on everyday until the end of the month. So if you have some free time, go watch it, it will release your stress and give you a great time, I promise you that.
