Comedy Cebu Presents A New Line-up of International Guest Comedians in Their Upcoming April 23-25 Shows
Comedy Cebu, the only Filipino and international point-of-view stand-up comedy group in Cebu, will be bringing some of the funniest stand-up comedians from around the world this April 23rd-25th to Metro Cebu!
The observational comedy group has been providing Cebu world-class comedy entertainment with its experienced performers in the art of stand-up comedy, using humor based on life experiences, social trends, human observation, without targeting or making fun of the audience- a fresh and equally enjoyable alternative to insult/drag comedy which is hugely popular in other Filipino comedy clubs and shows.
The upcoming events will not only bring observational stand-up comedy closer and available to the Cebu community, but will also help elevate Cebu City as one of the up and coming cities in the international comedy circuit around the globe.
World’s Funniest Person
VIVEK MAHBUBANI, an award -winning Hongkong stand-up comic, who has consistently headlined in both English and Cantonese shows, and who was also considered as one of 2014’s “Ten Funniest People in the World” by The Laugh Factory, Hollywood, California, will be leading this month’s lineup of world-class comics. The shows will also include Comedy Club China’s GUS TATE, Comedy Masala’s SAM SEE, Comedy Manila’s RYAN REMS SARITA, and last but not the least, the shows’ host and Comedy Cebu founder, GARY JACKSON.
