We all have friends that claim they’re funny. You know the routine “Hey, you have to hear this joke- So, this proctologist and a donkey…. Ahhh, forget it”. We’ve all heard it before; anyone can tell a joke, but a soul that lives and breathes comedy is a little harder to come by, which is why Spotlight Comedy Club was formed. This is not your ordinary Comedy Club in Korea- meaning you’re not going to see your roommate or drunken next door neighbour up on stage. What Spotlight Comedy Club does is reel in professional comedians from all over the world to bring you the funny. September 26th is going to be Spotlights’ 5th event since its creation in 2007- with the company of Australia’s uproarious Jonathan Atherton and America’s stronghold Terry Johnson AKA THE REAL TJ performing 40 minutes apiece. These two comedians have over 40 years in the game and have a resume that spans the globe. Multi-tongued Lonely Planet star Atherton is owner of two comedy clubs in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur where he feeds audiences with his sexual blend of multiculturalism. While, The REAL TJ’s career boasts writing for In Living Colour and Harlem Globe Trotter hype-man MC. The two of them have shared stages many times prior, but this will be their first time in Korea, and they are looking forward to spreading some love. The evening is going to be a riot, and also a rarity, as it is Itaewon’s first comedy show performed underneath the night sky. With a rooftop venue accommodating 150 seats, be sure you are one with a ticket, so you are waiving it in your friends face and not vice versa. The doors open at 7:30 which will give you plenty of time to throw back a dozen beers before the show starts at 8:30. Reserve your tickets by emailing Spotlight founders Bernard Hughes and Kristie Bromenshenk at spotlightcomedyclub@yahoo.com.
