WE could all need a nice laugh now and again. The saying “laughter is the best medicine” has virtually always been true, and if you can find the right stand-up comedy act, you can get your fill of the belly-laughing stuff in person.
In recent years, this kind of entertainment has grown in popularity. Making jokes among your friends is easy, but speaking in front of a live audience with the sole purpose of making them laugh can at times be challenging.
I recently went to a Just Jokes pop up stand-up comedy event. It is a show that was created to assist the local comedy culture, serve as a training ground for jokes to be tested and improved, and a platform to allow seasoned comics to share their experiences and skills.
The fundamental objective of Just Jokes was to promote stand-up comedy and show the broader public how universally appealing it is. theSun spoke to Mahyar, the founder and comic of Just Jokes, to learn more about the show and his own experience in stand-up comedy.
Mahyar was raised in Sentul, where life certainly wasn’t always easy, but he was always taught to express himself, even in the face of hardship.
For him, stand-up comedy gives him the opportunity to do just that, growth via repeated tribulations, setbacks, and uncertainty.
