Budiey
Baru-baru ini, Budiey ada menerima khabar, lima pelawak terkenal bergabung dalam satu pementasan berjudul Dry Comedy Nigh Where’s The Water pada 23 Mei 2014 jam 8.30 malam di Panggung Sari, Istana Budaya.
Lima pelawak terkenal yang Budiey maksudkan ialah Harith Iskander, Jason Leong, Keren Balan, Douglas Lim dan Rizal Van Geyzel. Mereka berlima akan menghiburkan penonton dalam beberapa segmen secara stand up comedy yang bertemakan tentang krisis air yang melanda negara baru-baru ini. Katanya, konsep ini belum pernah dibuat oleh mana pentas di Malaysia sebelum ini.
Namun, ada garis panduan perlu dipatuhi iaitu mereka dilarang untuk menyentuh isu sensitif terutamanya berkaitan tentang krisis air. Sebenarnya, pementasan ini bukannya seratus peratus berkenaan dengan isu air. Judul ini hanyalah sekadar menjadi daya tarikan untuk menarik perhatian orang ramai sahaja.
Kelima mereka akan tampil secara solo pada peringkat pertama dan akan bergabung di segmen seterusnya iaitu No Life-Jacket Comedy, Unplanned Set List: Stand Up Without a Net dan Joke Theif. Ia akan disampaikan secara spontan tanpa sebarang latihan dan skrip. Jadi, ia terbuka kepada semua peminat lawak komedi.
Tiket menyaksikan persembahan Dry Comedy Nigh Where’s The Water ini sedang dijual pada harga di antara RM70 hingga RM220 dan boleh dibeli menerusi laman web www.ezitix.net atau boleh dibeli di kaunter Istana Budaya.
The Godfather of Malaysian Stand Up Comedy – Harith Iskander – is set to hit the Istana Budaya stage along with four of Malaysia’s FINEST Stand Up Comedians in what promises to be an historical moment in the theatre’s history – English Stand Up Comedy performed by Malaysian’s FOR Malaysians.
And what better umbrella (pardon the pun) to put it under than the title: Dry Comedy – Where’s The Water? In the last few months, Malaysians (and particularly those in the Klang Valley) have been going through a comedy ‘drought’ as laughter has not been ‘flooding’ the news. Harith Iskander, Douglas Lim, Keren Balan, Rizal Van Geyzel and Jason Leong are set to change all that.
Bringing an all-new show to the stage – during the 1st half of the show these five comedians will first hit the stage individually to present their material … that will (or might NOT) be related to the current water crisis. Regardless of the topics they speak about what is guaranteed is the best and most hilarious comedy that Malaysians will get anywhere. In the 2nd half of the show the 5 mirth masters will combine to present an all-new “Improvisation” stand up comedy show : “No Life-Jacket Comedy” created by Harith Iskander. Hosted by Harith Iskander he will then challenge the other comedians to play various ‘improv-games’ that are designed to bring out the best in them. During this segment called ‘Unplanned Set-List: Stand Up without a net” the comedians’ skills are put to the ultimate test as they are forced to create stand up comedy on-the-spot with topics that are revealed to them on-the-spot.
In ‘Joke Thief’ a comedian has to get up and repeat the joke of another comedian whilst mimicking and acting out exactly how the other comedian performed his routine. Nothing is rehearsed. Nothing is planned. It is certainly the best way to watch masters of the form at work. Guaranteed, you have never experienced a show like this before and most certainly never at the most prestigious theatre venue in Malaysia. Dry Comedy is a show NOT to be missed. If you’re thirsty for a laugh, don’t wait any longer – comedy refreshment is here.
