STAND UP COMEDY is slowly but surely getting popular now a days, it’s a
different one that we usually familiar with in a traditional Comedy bar,
mastered by Gay comedians along with sing-along numbers. The one I’m talking
with is the Comedy Cartel, a guild of professional comic artist that provide a
whole range of stand-up comedy in a bar settings but mostly point of view
stories and of course day to day
personal experiences.
Due to its popularity, Comedy Cartel along wtheCircle Entertainment launches
a one of a kind stand-up comedy contest, it’s called “Laugh and Stack Open Mic
Showdown, now on its 8th Leg held every 2 other Saturday in
different bars in Metro Manila, it aims to discover new breed of talents from
amateurs comedians, class clowns and anyone who want to break their funny bones
on stage. It’s a weekly showdown in which the grand finals is scheduled
sometimes in December this year, a P20,000.00 in cash and more is at stake for the
major champion.
Last July 12 we are invited to witness the showdown of 10 promising
comedians who hails from different age group and with diverse personality and
with foreign nationals as well joining as contestant, each of them were given minimum
minute to showcase their wits, punchlines and delivery power that make
audiences laugh and vote them as the winner for the said leg. This was held at Relik Tapas Bar and Lounge at
the Bonifacio Global City in Taguig.
Walter Balino is the winner that night who really make us cry laughing
with his antics and jokes, one thing unforgettable in his performances is his
monologue about Pinoy Big Brother, a Reality TV show on which he suggest why not make a Squatter
edition featuring residents living in slum area. The roar of laughter at that
time is a hint that he will be the winner for that night and will have a spot
for the grand finals on December.
After the competition, resident artist from Comedy Cartel perform on
stage that made the night more fun and stress free.
Laugh and stack mic showdown is open to all interested; they usually
announce the registration at the comedy cartel page in Facebook, or you can
