I
am seriously considering suing Simuka Comedy for their show last night! Seriously! Up to now, I still find myself laughing to
myself, and nobody but me knows what I’m laughing about! So if I find
myself at the psych ward, I am coming for you Simuka!!!!
Q
the Boss was undoubtedly the star of last night’s show. He literally had everybody doubling over with laughter at every turn.
His come backs were even more classic! He would say something not so
funny and he would go
“To be honest it sounded funnier in
my head”, or
“You
better laugh here guys coz I worked real hard at that joke”, or
“Even if you don’t find this story
funny I don’t care because am still gonna get paid at the end of the night”,
lol, Totally EPIC!
But
let’s rewind a little to when the show started. There were a number of opening
acts, who to be honest, had me worried they would botch it up somehow. But most of them delivered, and even had the crowd in stitches
here and there. My only query was with one or two who seemed to think comedy is
equal to being vulgar. If you are not going to make it funny, then do
not be dirty ey. But as they are up and coming, we will not hold it against
them, kudos to them for getting on that stage.
Michael
K as always captivated the crowd and made sure that everybody had value for
their money. Seb Diesel, sadly was definitely off
his game and Edgar Langeveldt who was the show’s host had his moments, but his
best was when he did an impression of His Excellency!!! The only thing
missing was a standing ovation, but otherwise, to say everybody thoroughly
enjoyed it would be an understatement.
One
hilarious thing that got me doubling over more than the comics themselves was
the guys behind the scenes. If a comic got out of
hand say he over stayed his time, music would start playing, or (this is the
best part) his mic would be switched off, totally! I mean, who does
that??? Lol, apparently Simuka does.
Now
back to The Boss. His very first statement got some lady furious, causing an
altercation between the two. That lady should have known better than to start something she
couldn’t finish with Q. Maybe it was the liquor. Speaking of, several
people apparently couldn’t handle their liquor that night, that we who were at
the back had several spectacles to speak of for ages!
The
Boss is arrogant, but he has charisma as well, which is probably the reason why
he somehow got everybody singing along to the soundtrack of Fresh Prince. Most of you may know of the proverb seka urema wafa (only laugh at disability when you are dead). Q the
Boss seems to not have that proverb in his Shona vocabulary because he made a
dig at Steevie Wonder’s being blind in a way that got the crowd laughing
uncomfortably. Uncomfortably yes, but laughing all the same. And after
he had made us do that, he goes on to ask us in wonder how we could laugh at
that joke.
Overally,
it was definitely a good show. Yes there were some
blank moments, but thinking about it now, they were actually quite hilarious. Simuka
Comedy is most definitely the place to be everytime it’s on!!!
