Kam In YOur Face: Review

It all started with a small musical vignette of the team, Susan was there, donning her carbaret dress with fish net socks and the rest of the hot girls, some hot boys as well.

Jooanne Kam Po Po came and gave us a hell of a laughter with her ever popular stand-up comedian show. She made us all in stitches. It was 10 minutes of heaven laughters.

After that it was downhill from there.

It went on with two shows, separated by a15 minutes intermission.

The first sketch was a semi parody of CSI, CSI Petaling Jaya, name-dropping Pua, Nepal and Lingam with hit-and-miss effect.

The second was more vague, about Tom COdy? and him saving the lobe of his life Julian?(Joanne)

THe show ended with an climatic ballad from the 80's. In fact the whole show glorify the 80's. I was a child of the 80's, yet i only remember half of the songs they play. One can't help to wonder, it's been done before.

The show ended with less fanfare and laughter than when it first started, a general and usual progress of a comedy show; due to fatigue, it's usually won't have a lasting effect.

The show also have inconsistent humor. Joanne stand-up is widespread laughter, later the laughter became sporadic, demonstrating selective humor at work here.

At the ensemble applause, she was rather dissapointed that we did not give her the biggest cheer when her time to come out. Nor we should be blamed for she did not dare to come out solo. She should, it's her show...
