Dear all,

This is no laughing matter.

Starting in September 2004 (that is, AFTER this year's Gai Jatra festival), on the
first Friday of every English month, there is going to be a series of stand-up comedy performances by various Nepali stand-up artists on a "palai-palo" basis for an hour
or so.

In the beginning, this will be an EXPERIMENT for three months; depending on how
things turn out, the club may develop all the more or shut down with no regrets.

So, come, sit back, relax, enjoy your drinks and listen to some great stand-up
performances on contemporary Nepali issues in Nepali-English languages.

The point of this deliberately INFORMAL and UNREGISTERED comedy club is to
get some sort of an amateur/professional comedy scene going in Kathmandu on
a REGULAR basis so that:

a) new comedians are encouraged to come and showcase their talents.
b) comedy as an art form gets all the more developed and becomes more sophisticated
c) we all have fun either as performers or audience members.

For these three months, all the stand-up performances will be presented as "work in progress" materials so that audience members can give feedbacks to the performers.

There will be a modest entrance fee.

PLACE
Dhokai Ma Cafe, Patan Dhoka

PERFORMERS (performing solo)
1. Manoj Gajurel
2. Chatyang Master
3. Oohi Ashu

There may be a few others as well.

I will post further updates later.
Meantime, keep on checking: http://damadol.com

Like I said, in the beginning, this will be an EXPERIMENT for three months; depending on how things turn out, the club may develop all the more or shut down with no regrets.

"for God, country and Nepali comedy, though not necessarily in that order!"

For Dantya Katha, Raja, Nepal, Godavari Alu and Hans Association and Nepali Janata the greatest news is about three Maha Jodis doing great economical comical ameteur stand up comedy based on Greek tragedy. Good luck that they incrementally are goona change Nepe history based on the failure of Nepe Professional Gushya politics.

However, I wonder Ubaje/Ebaje opening with Hati ko chak open shisame maha mantra and still being stuck inside the chak.

Cometh the great Hindi God Shiva and stoned. He hears the noise from inside the seto murda kuieko Maha Gaja Hati GAAAAAAAAAAAAAnesh....

He forgot that he had already come out.

This time he was with his consort Parvati.

Shiva says "Who is inside ?"

Shyal says "Me"

And goes thebalh blah blah blah.

Shiva was really stoned and inquired if the Shyal could bark and he said yeah. Shiva asked when the Shyal fcuked that he got stucked with his pratner and the reply was yep. Shiva asked if the Shyal had tow horns and the reply was yep coz he was shyal singh or king of Cayote Ugly and so on and so forth....

That reminds me of the story of lato Bungo after he murdered the Taruni....

Are these teen Jodis doing Hati kanda plus lato bungo and baraline poiko talime by eating phalam ko chyura and also expecting bara to rain from the dhuri like the real lato bungo....

Good luck members of the Godavari Hasian Alu Associatioon members....

Haita kan de kan chanjo kura ma.

A great dramatic chance change for banji jumping maha baje.

By the way that you married hypothetically sainju maicha and devoured lots of juju dhau and bara. However, you had to go to the dhuri to do toori and that you also had a gupti maicha and that you also devoured chyura previous night in the secret liaison.

well, as a Gaaaaaaaaaaaaga lato bungo baje when you went to do peee i n the dhuri you started to shit phalame furaulla. however, you said "I am now making Ufraula rain to my neighbours below".

It would be great tragedy if you could not laugh by your-self with two raja Hans ful or eggs hard boiled ones as we call in Oz Googs inside your mouth....

Hans hans hans ko ful you fool oops for full laugh hehehehehehehehehehehe.

I found Manoj Gajurel's performance at the Crity Awards extremely hilarious. The underlying message, I hope however, was taken seriously by the karta-dhartas of Nepali ad industry.

I have not attacked any one apart to say welcome for forming a nepali laughing and standing ameteur club. I have used pun and parody with a sense of HUMOUR based on Nepalese dantya katha full of SEMIOTICS.

This is no personal attack and is within the context and content of the laudable and laughable lauda's proposition.

Now this is rather strange he is nervous and staring to cry baby instaed of laughinh and making others laugh. What kind of GAI JATRE project is this?

I wish you laughed instead of Oohi Ashu ka thopa!

Cheer up bugger and do a ho ha cha cha and laugh with fully belly and thado tupi your comedy signature symbol....

ha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.....

U go Ashu ... I enjoy watching stand up comedies in Comedy central here ... and doing something like this in KTM is a great idea .... I hope people will come to watch ur shows ....

I badly mistook this Nepal Tara dudette and apologize for it. I thought he was just that pathetic, certified psychopath from Down Under--you know, the total failure, bichara, who clamors for attention by being childishly disruptive--you know, the one who sometimes vists Sajha when he forgets to take his medications for his sad deteriorating mental condition (come to think of it, we must be long-lost twins, him from bharyang muni!). I am truly sorry for being so off the mark.

Turns out this sistah is not only a flamboyant dancer/singer (an original member of the cho-chweet Nepali Village People, the policeman), but a bona fide comic as well. Have we ever laughed so hard AT a nut case before? But wait, the dudette is also a blistering racist polemicist, an English spelling teacher, a semiotician, a metereologist AND a gay fabulist (check out all the anal imagery in his oh so cute, literate and creative writing). Can you believe the talent on this beauty, meow?!!

So let's not shun or attack this multitalented twisted sistah, this most sensitive wilting flower. Let us understand that this dudette suffered an abusive childhood (not funny), due to which he is confused of his sexual identity. Let us not forget that this twisted sistah's violent heart and rough tongue (meow) is only a sign of impotence, his confused inability to express himself clearly, all of which is of course the result fo repressing his ebullient happy self, poor thang!

Let us instead give him a group hug (not too close now, meow) so as to enable him to slither out of his pupal closet and fly away from Sajha like a brightly colored butterfly (or stay for tighter group hugs, meow, I am willing. We do after all need someone to laugh AT every now and then!!!!

What is wrong with this nepal tara ? He is very annoying. Bugs me a lot.

Ashu,

Good job.....

Dear ashu,

Whatever u do .......do for country's sake.........
Like NATION ........be professional on this laughing matter....

Good Luck!!! Ashu.......s .....T.......ri,

hahahaha ..very funny nepal tara .....
