Instead of the usual family dinner treat for my new position, my mom thought of using the money to laugh and be entertained last Saturday. This was a welcomed idea for me since I just came from the ‘promotes treat’ of our team in Dencios the day before. For the longest time, my mom thought of checking out what this comedy bar called ‘Klownz’ in Quezon Avenue was all about. We were all about to find out.
Oh my, it was really a treat, even for me! I was laughing from 9pm to 2am and my jaws were a bit sore when we got home. This bar offers the whole nine yards of entertainment – there was singing, dancing, and of course stand-up comedy. And when it comes to stand-up comedy, gay people are usually the funniest. Why? I don’t know. Maybe because they tell it as it is and they throw in the open what most people are usually too afraid to say. They also have these imaginative ideas that would really make you think of hilarious thoughts. Also, they’re not funny in a ’smiling’ kind of way. They are funny in a ‘laughing-with-tears-in-the-eyes-and-an-aching-diaphragm’ kind of way. That is why we didn’t notice the time because we were too entertained.
I guess the only downsize to this kind of entertainment is that the jokes are mostly green. The green is not light green but hard core green. Somebody who was never exposed to this kind of humor might feel quite uncomfortable but will surely loosen up in the end. Also, when you enter into this kind of places, you have to be ready to be lightly humiliated so you have to leave your pride at the door step. You have to know how to make light of yourself.
So there! That was the gist of my Klownz experience. It was something different and new for me. Now, I have another option for a place to go when I feel much stressed and down. Hehehe.
