MACC 1st EGM @ PJLA, Jaya One

Malaysia Got Talent... Got meh?

Yes got. I was privileged to have caught the MACC 1st EGM yesterday afternoon at PJLA Theatre. I was dead tired, but die die must go watch.

Sorry no pictures cause no cameras and recording equipment was allowed.



M.A.C.C. 1st EGM - Malaysian Association of Chinese Comedians 1st Easy Going Meeting.

This comedy act features Douglas Lim, Kuah Jenhan and Phoon Chi Ho. Unfortunately Chi Ho was down with Chicken Pox and was kind enough not to show up and spread it to the paying audiences.

Douglas looked familiar but I could not recall where I have seen him before, until he mentioned he was Steven the hairstylist in Kopitiam.

Both Douglas and Jenhan brought the full-house down yesterday. Doublas gave the crowd an additional 10 minutes of laughter since Chi Ho was absence from the EGM.

The jokes were very hilarious, best man.... and it was really funny as it was related to recent Malaysian news and happenings.

Near the end of the show, Douglas gave a touching tribute to his late-grandfather and shared a funny experience Douglas had with him.

Well Douglas, for someone tired who could nod off during an action filled movie, no I did not nod off during the show yesterday, I give you and the show two thumbs up. If I had more thumbs, I would give you more. This is so far the best live comedy performance I have seen.

The Comedy Club Kuala Lumpur @ PJ Life Art, (PJLA) Jaya One

The Comedy Club Kuala Lumpur was held last night (21st October 2009) at PJLA, Lightbox Theatre in Jaya One.




This is the first time I am watching a live stand-up comedy performance. It was hilarious. This is a adult comedy, so no children allowed.

The comedians, international lineup...

Papi Zak (Malaysia).
Poked fun at the different Malaysian races.


David Smiedt (South Africa)
I like this act. David interacted with the audiences and made fun of them too, really funny.


Jeff Green (UK)


... and the hose... I mean host, Steve Northcott (Canada).


The 22nd and 23rd October shows will be held at Zouk Kuala Lumpur.

In The News: PJLA MACC 1st EGM

It's a laugh, the MACC EGM
2009/10/18

HELLO, all you Ah Bengs, Ah Chongs and Ah Chais out there, the much-awaited MACC EGM, contrary to reports in the mainstream and downstream media and unbridled rumours, is scheduled to be held today.

Seriously, let me put this on record. The MACC is most certainly not the MCA, okay, and also not the anti-corruption bunch — two organisations that have been in the limelight of late. What a laugh.

This MACC is the Malaysian Association of Chinese Comedians. The MACC’s first EGM (Easy Going Meeting) is to discuss the fate of president Douglas Lim’s “intern”, Phoon Chi Ho, and the “sacked - but - pending - appeal” member Kuah Jenhan.

Lost? Deal With It - The Things We Have Lost @ PJLA Jaya One

The Electric Minds Project presented The Things We Have Lost at the Lightbox Theatre, PJLA, Jaya One, PJ from 12th August to 16 August.

From PJLA Website.

I managed to watch the performance yesterday (Sunday) as a Palm Production's part-time crew. No photos we allowed to be taken.

There were 5 different scenes that relates to lost, and as mentioned in The Electric Minds Project website, about grief, despair, abandonment, and hope.

A woman with a gun tries to fix her relationship. Three children contemplate selling a house, and their memories of it, one after the other. A mother grieves for her child in an unusually cruel fashion. Friends sift through the ashes of their previous lives. Two lovers contemplate eternity, the view from their rooftop, and moving to Mongolia.

A woman with a gun tries to fix her relationship.
A very extreme way to mend a broken heart with a gun pointed at your boyfriend.

A mother grieves for her child in an unusually cruel fashion.
The baby is not even her child. The husband had to give the child back, so she blames him.

Friends sift through the ashes of their previous lives.
Their house was burnt to the ground. Lesson learned, do not smoke in bed.

Two lovers contemplate eternity, the view from their rooftop, and moving to Mongolia.
I wasn't paying attention to the dialog. I was admiring the luggage bag prop. From the roof top, everybody looks like ants.

Three children contemplate selling a house, and their memories of it, one after the other.
2 sisters and a gay brother, back home for their mother's funeral. An emotional ending with one of the sister playing the "air" piano.


The actors and actresses did a good job in expressing the emotions of each scene.

WARNING! Not suitable for children as they would get bored with the dialogues and parents/guardian would have a hard time explaining the ^$@*&!# words to them during the performance.
