ne looking or a night o laughsshould look no urther than
Happy Ever Laughter (rated 18).Back or its second run afer theinaugural in 2012, the diversified cast
eatures a mix o veterans and upcomingacts. Helmed by Dream AcademysSelena an, endless laughter filled thepacked audience throughout thetwo-hour long show.
MediaCorp actor Mark Lee, Kumar, andAdrian Pang headlined the show. It wasLees debut English stand-up gig. Lee
poked un at his difficulties on grappling
with the English language since young,recounting his experiences on Channel
5s sitcom Police & Tie . Lees sel-deprecating humour (opening withSurprised I speak English?) certainlycarried his perormance.Upcoming comedians Fakkah Fuzz
and Rishi Budhrani also held their ownwith their intelligent humour, drawingobservations rom their own lives.
Seasoned artistes Sebastian an (akaBroadway Beng) and Siti Khalijah gavesong and dance based perormances.Te ormer peppered his monologue
with Hokkien flavour, with songrenditions o Just Te Way You Are,
ouch My Body and Let It Go. Teseperormances struck a chord with themajority, with the audience erupting intolaughter.While the common theme o the show
was on all things Singapore-related, eachcomedian had something different tooffer. Te monologues catered to all levels
with the variety o humour (not just ormass appeal) the show offered. Ultimately,it is a eel-good show that leaves you withwatery eyes and an aching jaw.
