And we all live happily together!

First comes the need for food, then need for warmth and concealing of modesty then protection from nature. Man, being man is not satisfied with his basic needs. With affluence, food is replaced with cuisine, clothing with haute couture and hut(home) with palatial house. Also trickling in would the appreciation of performing arts.

Arts help to influence a society to make them think how they should think. Indian freedom fighters and Nazi propaganda machinery shrewdly used this for their advantage - to parcel off British from Bharat Desh and to fuel hatred for Abraham's God's chosen people respectively.With the freedom of availability of information and both sides of the story, the boldness, the exposure, the education opportunities and the vociferous vocalness of people of late, performing arts in Malaysia have never been the same.On a Tuesday night, I decided to give myself a go at a PJ Live Arts stand up comedy show. It is a potpourri of and coming comedians trying to give a shot at 15 minutes of fame.

Kavin Jay

Catering to an mature and broad minded audience, there were no holds barred in the types of jokes that the performers belted out. By and large, the barrage of stereotypical racial was the highlight of the night led by the masters of ceremony, a well endowed confident Kavin Jay. The performers were from various ethnicity and were basically laughing at various races in the family, at themselves and their neighbours. (Rizal van Geyzel, Pravin, Srikanth, Kaptain Khalid from Nigeria).
If you thought, there was no representation from our Eastern part of Malaysia, Shamin from Sabah was out to make us laugh at the ignorance of the Peninsularites and their confusion of cultures from Sabah and Sarawak. They even had a Singaporean (Fuzz) act to rekindle the old love-hate flame between the two neighbours.
The leaders of the country and even the official religion of the country were the butt of their jokes.
a good 2 hours of fun and laugh. Sadly, there were no comediennes in the list of performers. Probably, we have to give the fairer sex some time before they learn the art of invoking laughter. As expected, Indians, the big talkers (all talk only, no action) stole the limelight.
Many of us are yet to be exposed to the plethora of talents amongst us.
A good night well spent.
