What comes to your mind first when you see the word 'comedy', is it Mr. Bean?
or is it Charlie Chaplin?
What does these two shared in common? Think carefully....The answer is, they never speak! In comedy, you do not necessary need to speak to make people laugh, all you need to do is to make people understand what you are doing. A japanese duo who goes with the name "Gamarjobot" is able to perform in front of a bunch of European audience and made them laugh, isn't that fascinating?
I think that comedy doesn't only come from films or live shows, it can be found in your everyday life. Observe carefully the things happening around you, and the most common place that you can see that is in a train, "why?" you asked? let's see the video below
Isn't that funnier than the stuff you watched in a film? Well, comedy plays an important part in our lives, it helps us release the stress that had been building inside us, it gives us a way to relax ourselves and find something funny to laugh about, it helps us see that life isn't that bad after all.
My play of comedy comes from telling a story that might happen in your life, inspired by of course, the "Umbilical Brothers" which is formed by a pair of brothers doing lived shows around the globe.
These guys are seriously funny, they perfectly portrayed that everything in life can be made into comedy. They do not do stupid or silly stunts that sometimes can be overdoing it, but they use their wits and imaginations! They can make you think that there really is a dog or a bug on the stage by making realistic sounds of them.
Comedy comes a lot from your own imagination, comedians may act stupid or foolish, but they are actually very smart and witty guys that can make people laugh by just doing anything. Comedy is harder than you think, try to make someone laugh on the spot now, can you actually do it?
