Comedy day out

A seven hour non stop kannada comedy show was organized recently in our neighbourhood. The event brought together popular kannada comedians. While some of the artistes brought out new anectodes, most of them sticked to their already popular script. Whatever, the 3000-4000 strong crowd enjoyed every bit of the event. It was hilarious to watch Richard Louis pick out certain nuances of daily life for his story line. Most of the artistes performed along with their teams, music instruments included to add to the comedy delivery!
The event stood apart from the overall experience, everything from the seating, vehicle parking, policing and the eatery stalls were setup beyond my expectations...kudos to the organizers for roping some sponsors and doing a wonderful job.
The event reminded me of the 'HariKatha' which we used to frequent as kids. The narrator would tell mythological stories, in between injecting few songs and stirring the event with few funny lines. The late Guru Rajulu Naidu was a (still is) famous Harikathe artiste and we never missed his show in our locality. The current day comedy events have the same crowd attraction like the Harikathe ones, only thing required is the continuous innovation and 'staying current' with the expectations.
