Bangkok to host comedy festival at three venues

The Comedy Club of Bangkok is all set to host a three-day comedy extravaganza at three separate venues this weekend. The venues for the Thai capital’s Magners International Comedy Festival are the Comedy Club’s home base at the Royal Oak pub, Tenderloins 33 Steakhouse & Sports Bar and the Westin Grande Sukhumvit’s lounge.

Both the Royal Oak and Tenderloins are located on Sukhumvit Road Soi 33. The shows are set to run between 20:00 and 24:00 at all three locations for the three nights which begin tomorrow evening. The bill features nine top comic artistes who have honed their delivery techniques to guarantee laughs with every word or mime.   

Fans of this genre of entertainment claim a highlight of the acts is Earl Okin. The self-proclaimed sex symbol combines jazz and comic skits for a truly unique live show. Anto Chan is noted for his acts which involve 100 per cent audience participation. 

The Comedy Club says all the discounted early-bird tickets for the nine shows have been sold. Tickets priced at THB1,000 will be available on the door at each of the three locations. Online tickets can be purchased from the Comedy Club’s website and cost THB750.
