These talented comedians practice point-of-view comedy and have competed and won in different comedy festivals abroad. They have been bringing their sets to different parts of the Philippines to enrich the appreciation of comedy and Filipino talent. Here’s a description of the kind of comedy they wish to bring to the Cebuano audience: “For those who would like to have an alternative type of Stand UpComedy compared to the mainstream type of Stand Up that you watch at Comedy Bars. The jokes we do are everyday things, stories, personal experiences, points of view. We don’t look to insult the crowd for laughs. If you want to this type of Stand Up Comedy to spread out and be accepted in the country, then like our page, watch our shows and laugh with us.”
