00:00This morning, we have a special guest who will surely make us happy and make us laugh.
00:06And he's with us today, we have a stand-up comedy group called Insangy Think.
00:12Good morning and welcome to Raya San Sang in the Philippines.
00:14Good morning.
00:15Good morning.
00:16Good morning.
00:17I'm sure we're going to laugh this morning.
00:20But we want you to get to know the group.
00:22And even Mardi, you introduce us to your group.
00:26Mardi Almighty.
00:28Mardi Tiguzman, but they call me Mardi Almighty.
00:31Because I just changed the name to Almighty.
00:37Before, they used to call me Almighty.
00:39That's why I changed it to Almighty, so that it sounds better.
00:42I'm here with our head, Ethon Edward Chico.
00:46And the oldest of us, Ethon Ryan Villaga.
00:49Who is Ethon Ryan Villaga?
00:52I'm here with Jan Perez Atiga Montalban, Atty. Jigs Premisius, and Atty. Don Victor.
00:58Wow, lawyers.
01:00So there are four lawyers, one is the new lawyer, and the other is the one who's still hurting.
01:04I already know who I am.
01:07Did you see the introduction? He's the longest one.
01:09We don't even know his name yet.
01:13He's already winning.
01:14We watched their shows.
01:16We were able to watch their stand-up comedy live.
01:22We saw that you have a different style.
01:24You're a bit smart.
01:26You said that you're a bit weak.
01:28You can't laugh at your jokes.
01:30Can you give us a sample?
01:32Maybe Mardi, you're the one who was being arrogant earlier.
01:35Go ahead, Mardi, give us a sample.
01:37Your intro was bad, you should give us a sample.
01:40You go first, Mardi.
01:42Like I said, I'm a stand-up comedian.
01:46I'm also a kiddie party host magician and ventriloquist.
01:51Yeah, you heard it, I'm a magician.
01:53Do you want to see something amazing?
01:55We want to see that.
01:59That's what's amazing.
02:03I'm also a ventriloquist.
02:05You know ventriloquist, when you talk to a puppet,
02:07and you don't open your mouth,
02:09then we also give a voice to our puppet.
02:11You know what guys, I've been a ventriloquist for 10 years,
02:13and I'm surprised that my girlfriend is also a ventriloquist.
02:15The only thing is, her ventriloquism comes out
02:17when I do things that she doesn't like.
02:19Sometimes, we're at the mall,
02:21and we're walking, and there's a beautiful, sexy girl.
02:23I met a girl,
02:25and the girl said,
02:27Hi, Mardi!
02:29My girlfriend said,
02:31Who is that?
02:33Who is that?
02:37Your boyfriend is also a ventriloquist.
02:39But sometimes, it's weird,
02:41her ventriloquism still comes out.
02:43Sometimes, we're at the mall,
02:45and I don't know where to eat.
02:47I said to her, where do you want to eat?
02:49She said, I don't know.
02:51I said, where do you want to eat?
02:53She said, I don't know.
02:55What's your problem?
02:57I have a runny nose.
03:01Actually, it's like we're embarrassed.
03:03She's not that representative.
03:05You know what,
03:07she's not that funny.
03:09She's not that funny.
03:13It's like we're embarrassed that we brought you here.
03:15You shouldn't have started with us.
03:21Seriously, if you want to see more
03:23funny jokes,
03:25we have Ryan.
03:27Ryan is a prosecutor.
03:29He knows everything.
03:31But at the same time, he's doing comedy.
03:33Of course, he's the oldest among us.
03:35Actually, at this age,
03:37it's true.
03:39But his commitment to comedy is really good.
03:41So, let's encourage him
03:43so that we'll know
03:45why you should blame us.
03:47You know, I just came here because
03:49Audrey said she's going to have a snack.
03:51She's going to have breakfast this morning.
03:53That's why I came here.
03:55But Audrey,
03:57she's my basketball player.
03:59She's not only good at basketball,
04:01she's also good at love and relationship.
04:03You know, I remember Audrey.
04:05She told me that she's going to teach me
04:07some secrets
04:09so that I'll be happy in love.
04:11She said, first of all,
04:13when you're in love,
04:15you shouldn't have pride in your heart.
04:17If you fight with your wife or girlfriend,
04:19you'll break up right away.
04:21I said, Audrey, why?
04:23She said, pride is like a brief.
04:25Do you know why?
04:27Because as long as you don't let it go,
04:29nothing will happen.
04:31But Audrey said,
04:33I'm here,
04:35even if I don't let it go,
04:37nothing will happen.
04:39It's like pride.
04:41But seriously,
04:43we just want to share this.
04:45You can ask them later.
04:47Insanity is part of the comedy cartel.
04:49We thought of
04:51insane thinking comedy.
04:53We feel like,
04:55for us to be funny,
04:57we have to be insane.
04:59For us to be sane,
05:01we have to be funny.
05:03We have jokes that were
05:05corny to Martin earlier.
05:07Of course, there's a market for that.
05:09But at the same time,
05:11we have to be like that.
05:13You're insane.
05:15It's really embarrassing.
05:17But at the same time,
05:19we can also have fun
05:21like our politicians.
05:23But we can't say
05:25these jokes.
05:27But we have simple jokes.
05:29For example,
05:31you can't say who you voted for.
05:33You voted for BBM
05:35or whoever.
05:37But for me,
05:39ever since I'm the favorite president,
05:41sorry BBM,
05:43it's Erap.
05:45Why?
05:47For all presidents,
05:49Erap is the only one who has a conviction.
05:51Why?
05:53Audrey, I'm asking you
05:55for a smart joke.
05:57You know, Audrey,
05:59if your outfit is like that,
06:01you won't be able to think.
06:03Your outfit should be leather jacket,
06:05boots. If you're not in a show,
06:07that's what you should wear.
06:09I should be able to relate
06:11to the convictions.
06:13I'm embarrassed.
06:15That outfit is funny.
06:17Audrey, look at it.
06:19It's like an AI.
06:21When you watch TV,
06:23when you watch Sir Audrey,
06:25I always tell Miss Dian,
06:27Dian, be careful.
06:29Don't get too close to Audrey.
06:31She's gentle.
06:33Alright, let's talk to the other.
06:35Oh, we have a guest.
06:37I forgot that we're here.
06:41It's good that you noticed us.
06:43It's cold here in the studio.
06:45I wish I took a bath.
06:47I'm Don Victorio.
06:49You know, superpowers.
06:51In real life,
06:53superpowers should be equal.
06:55But I thought,
06:57what if we all have superpowers?
06:59But there's a catch.
07:01For balance.
07:03For example,
07:05you can be invisible,
07:07but you're dead.
07:09Or you're a maniac,
07:11but you have x-ray vision.
07:13You can see people who are floating.
07:15But it only works on men.
07:17Or you can
07:19transform into any animal.
07:21But sometimes,
07:23you can't control
07:25when you're ordering food
07:27and you suddenly become a chicken.
07:29Or you can
07:31make a lot of copies of yourself,
07:33but you're ugly.
07:37But Audrey,
07:39I'm just clarifying that Don Victorio
07:41is just a chicken.
07:43If ever, just in case,
07:45I'm clarifying that he's just a chicken.
07:47Do you want to hear
07:49Don Victorio's answer?
07:53Tell us if you have a question.
07:55We're listening, Audrey.
07:57Especially the one on top.
07:59Jigs and Jams.
08:01Guys,
08:03do you know the term,
08:05Pares-Pares ng Bara?
08:07I only found out recently.
08:09That's why it's called Unggu-Ungguyan.
08:11Because it's a matching type.
08:13There you go.
08:15Actually,
08:17we're not going to do that.
08:19Who is it?
08:21It should be me.
08:23Okay, Jam.
08:25Are you sure about this?
08:29Why can't I go back to TV?
08:31Okay.
08:33What bird
08:35Don't do that.
08:37Please.
08:39that sells
08:41makeup?
08:43What?
08:45What?
08:47Can you joke like this?
08:51Can you really joke like this?
08:53He's doing it on stage.
08:55It's not funny.
08:57If ever you need it, Jam.
08:59It's good that you have canned laughter.
09:01When is your show?
09:03Actually,
09:05we have a show in Viva Cafe.
09:07We're going to be launching
09:09Insanity. It's the official launch.
09:11Insanity has been around for 3 years.
09:13We started 3 years ago.
09:15Pastor Ruther,
09:17he's the finalist of PGT,
09:19Filipinas Got Talent,
09:21and Michelle Defensors, me.
09:23We used to do shows at the Music Museum.
09:25Those are sold-out shows.
09:27But then we realized that there are a lot of us.
09:29We realized that it's better
09:31to embrace the corny.
09:33Let's include them.
09:35We have a show in August.
09:37August 24.
09:39In Viva Cafe.
09:41We have a show on August 17.
09:43On August 17,
09:45Tony Edward Chico,
09:47and I'm the headliner.
09:49That's at
09:51BF Resort,
09:53Las Piñas.
09:57Every Thursday.
09:59We have an open mic comedy night
10:01at No Move Basho.
10:03We're inviting
10:05Sir Audrey to try.
10:07Actually, Audrey
10:09tried to open mic to us.
10:11Oh, okay.
10:13We blamed her.
10:15I told her,
10:17there's a reason why you're just here.
10:19Don't do what we're doing.
10:21But if you have a lot of friends,
10:23we can invite you.
10:25But it's funny
10:27because some of them are lawyers,
10:29some of them do other things,
10:31but they're all together.
10:33But Jam is unemployed.
10:35She's a new lay.
10:37We're all different.
10:39We're all inclusive.
10:41We believe that even if you get kicked out,
10:43you can still join us.
10:45You still have a chance.
10:47Even if you're a new lay,
10:49we're giving you a new mic.
10:51How about the others who want to try?
10:53As long as there are a lot of friends.
10:55A lot of friends.
10:57Jigsaw will share how he got you
10:59to join him.
11:01I started when I first
11:03watched stand-up comedy.
11:05I decided to do stand-up comedy.
11:07I watched Sir Ed,
11:09and Jam Perez.
11:11I said, I'm better at this.
11:15I always say that.
11:17I was inspired by Jam Perez.
11:19She's so likable.
11:21She's really good.
11:23She doesn't lose her focus.
11:25For someone like me
11:27who wants to try this,
11:29isn't it nerve-wracking
11:31when you're laughing for 5 minutes
11:33and it's silent?
11:35It's hard.
11:37Our comedy is point of view.
11:39Of course, we cannot do the set here.
11:41Most of the time,
11:43we give opinions.
11:45It's a monologue.
11:47It's not mainstream.
11:49The comedy in the Philippines,
11:51the comedy that we dig,
11:53it's insult-based.
11:55It's like, it's better to borrow this.
11:57You won't run away.
11:59Your front is the same as your back.
12:01There's nothing wrong with what they do.
12:03It's an art genre in itself.
12:05But we're trying to promote
12:07a type of comedy
12:09where people can freely express
12:11their opinions that are funny.
12:13It can be not funny.
12:15You saw it earlier.
12:17If you want to try comedy,
12:19just come to us.
12:21You can get in touch with us.
12:23There's a bar in Tomas Morato
12:25every Thursday.
12:27You can go there.
12:29Audrey already tried.
12:31We didn't force her to come back.
12:33But if she wants to,
12:35she can.
12:37Just come here, Audrey.
12:39You're better here.
12:41I'm happy because I understand
12:43that in other countries,
12:45there are a lot of
12:47comedy places.
12:49Western comedy or stand-up.
12:51I saw that online.
12:53If there's a politician,
12:55this is the starting platform
12:57to expand comedy
12:59here in the Philippines.
13:01What will be your overall experience
13:03when you watch your live show?
13:07Actually,
13:09you'll regret paying for it.
13:13You'll try to make it funny
13:15to make it worth it.
13:17You'll order a lot.
13:19The problem with our show is that
13:21we have people like Jam.
13:23We're trying to balance it.
13:25There's comedy for everyone.
13:29I was wondering,
13:31you watch a lot of shows.
13:33You watch it again and again.
13:35I told her,
13:37you've watched it 5 times already.
13:39Can't you understand our jokes?
13:41Because you're my friends.
13:43Diana has a great sense of humor.
13:45She's not only beautiful,
13:47she's also smart.
13:49Let's not talk about that.
13:51She's Miss Earth.
13:53When you talk to her,
13:55she has a great sense of humor.
13:57She's one of the smartest people
13:59I've talked to
14:01who's involved in the TV broadcast industry.
14:03I thought there was a punchline.
14:05I'll make you blush
14:07so I can be here again.
14:11You contributed a lot to the solar system.
14:13You're Miss Earth.
14:19Why is our conversation so long?
14:21Aren't you supposed to be here until 8?
14:25Invite them again.
14:27August 24.
14:29August 17 at Classified
14:31VIP Resort, Las Pinas.
14:35August 24 at Viva Cafe, Cubao.
14:39You can avail the tickets
14:41on our Facebook page.
