The Actorlympics is BACK!
February 9th, 2006
if your hearts been feelin’ empty lately cos your life no longer has any meaning, or if your stomachs ain’t been hurtin’ from excessive tasteful comedy anytime recently, y’all should most definitely check out THE ACTORLYMPICS.
it’s a malaysian version of the popular improv comedy game show Whose Line Is It Anyway?, so if you’ve caught that one on Starworld and loved it, The Actorlympics is for you. or if you’re one of those strange ones who have yet to watch Whose Line, then here’s a quick briefing; a line up of comedians will play games (as in game games, NOT egg-and-spoon or sack-hopping races kinda thing) the premise of which is given by the host, Drew Carey, and they have to make up everything on the spot. example of game : the 4 actors have to form a broadcasting team; 2 of them are given the role of live newscasters, another will do sports telecasting, and the last one will be um, the weatherman :D so they have to make up the news as they go along, and it’s usually hella freakin funny.
in The Actorlympics, it’s pretty much the same thing, only the premise is decided upon suggestions from the audience, instead of pre-determined ones by the host. that and there’s double the cast, 8 actors instead of 4.
there have been a few runs of it already — featuring talented local comedians/actors such as Afdlin Shauki, Patrick Teoh, Douglas Lim, Ida Nerina, Gavin Yap, Rashid Salleh and loads more. despite that, i lost my Actorlympics virginity only last December, and have been dying to watch another show ever since. now that the chance is here, i demand all of you go watch it as well :D 22nd to 26th of February, 8.30pm, RM42 ticket price, tix can be purchased at The Actors Studio in Bangsar Shopping Centre. students, do take advantage of the students price, which is RM22! and since it’s all improvised, it’s different games and a different show every night.
imma buy my tickets soon. you’d better too, cos the tickets sell out FAST!
see you there at Actorlympics .. :D

It sounds like a whole lot of fun! Look forward to reading your post afterwards!
It is SO refreshing to read stuff and nod knowingly at a lot of it when you’re reading it AND laugh at the same time!
Oh, I have to say about that bit about Malaysians do not live on trees in the jungle. You know, when I tell people where I am from, first of all, some people ain’t got a clue where we are (DUH!). It’s like Malaysia? Where’s that? Secondly, I get asked stuff like do we have supermarkets and McDonalds in Malaysia. Seriously, some people need to get their ignorant butts over to Malaysia and see all the wonders it has to offer. Although hopefully, not have a one on one with our oh so wonderful upholders of the law, the ultimate Pakcik Rasuah!
