New Stuff--The Comedy Outburst

Celebrating its second anniversary in Mumbai; The Comedy Store has great to offer and it’s the only such theatre and concept in Mumbai which only caters adult comedy. The Comedy Store has been a stage for world class comedians in London and Manchester and it’s a borrowed concept from the UK. A visit to it is a must if you have a funny bone and would like to experience or a fan of standup comedy. At first they make you feel comfortable and nice with their bar and diner, then they make you laugh with one-liners and punches .They would joke on all issues ranging from sex and politics to religion, college and Olympics! Now, as the jokes were all equally hilarious, we judged the comics on other parameters.

The show we went for was titled “New Stuff” and it promised to showcase new jokes and talent. We were served by seven comedians at the price of Rs.150. It all started with the host Neville Shah, he introduced himself as a half Parsi-half Gujju comedian. He made the people roll on the floor laughing and was the best as he was the host. He got off

the stage, interacted with the audience and humiliated them!. That always works doesn’t it? 
One of the people who constantly got insulted by every comedian was one of our own colleagues and also the editor of all the posts you see on this blog  so I won’t be surprised if any line vanishes in “the interest of making the post better”
( Neville Shah, if you are reading this, he was the IT engineer whom you caught hold of ). Actually, he had already planned to sit on the first row and make himself the target! The comedians were not aware that the persons whom they were cracking jokes would be grading them! Here is a tip for you; If you care a lot of your image and do get offended from highly insulting lines on you/your partner, dare not sit in the front rows!
