Akmal's stand-up is generally around his life and experiences. He migrated to Australia from Egypt so he does have a lot of ethnic jokes and politically incorrect ones. And that's my kind of humour --- politically incorrect humour! :) His parents were very religious Coptic Orthodox individuals so he had a pretty humourous upbringing. Or at least the way he says it.
It was nice to have a night of belly-aching laughter. Some of his jokes did leave people gasping for air after laughing.
All in all, a lovely night out.
How was your weekend?
Until next time,
Cheers!!!
Sounds really funny night it was with loads of laughter :D
ReplyDeleteI should know something about Akmal now ;)
We had Eid yesterday... so weekend was with the preparations :)

Wow! A weekend well spent.
ReplyDeleteMine ws gud too. All about Ganesh Puja and playing a good hostess ;)
Sounds like a wonderful evening! I love comedy, especially outrageous comedy, so Akmal sounds like my kind of stand-up :D
ReplyDeleteI have never been to a stand up comedy show. It is gaining ground in Chennai as well. The most common and well received jokes are ethnic ones. I would like to be a stand up comedian someday. Lol.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you laughed a lot. Good for health. I am wondering something. Do the performers also laugh a lot?
Been Long PB. How have you been? My weekend was a bit hectic.
You have a lovely week ahead.
Joy always,
Susan
Hehe...wouldn't expect you to know him...he's an Australian comedian...not well known around the world. Don't know who Vir Das is...but yeah, stand up comedy is fun...
ReplyDeleteHonestly not heard of this guy, but I had a very similar experience when I got to see Vir Das! :D
ReplyDeleteI've been to a couple before...but with more than one comedian. This was the first time it was to see someone I chose. Nice...you spent time reading! I have been a bit in and out of reading lately....
ReplyDeleteNice!!!
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to go to a live stand up comedy show...but hasn't happened yet. Someday :)
My weekend has been ok....spent Friday all night reading a book and started another one Saturday afternoon...so it's been fun :D I'm on a reading marathon after a long time and I'm loving it!
Nice!!!

Never heard of Akmal. Will look him up.
ReplyDeleteIt's already Thursday, so I guess there's no point in talking about my last weekend. Instead I should be looking forward to the next one right? :)
