I
just bought DVDs - ‘Diew Microphone’ or a stand-up comedy show by Udom
Taepanich, a famous stand-up comedian in Thailand two weeks ago. I’ve already
watched all 9 episodes. I think that the show is amazing and very funny. I really enjoy the show. I recommend you to
watch the DVDS, especially episode 9 – using Facebook. You probably like it
because it’s very true about our habits while we’re using Facebook.
Udom
Taepanich started his career as a stand-up comedian sixteen years ago. He’s the
first person who begins a stand-up comedy show in Thailand. I’m just only 11
years old at that time, and I never heard about a stand-up comedy show before. So
when I heard that he is going to perform a stand-up comedy show, I just think that
the show might not be successful, because a stand-up comedy show is quite new in
Thailand. However, being as a stand-up comedian for 16 years and tickets always
sold out every time the shows occurred, can prove that he is a talented
comedian, and now successful in his career.
Some
people may wonder what stories he talks about in his shows. I can say that
things he talks in his shows are just simple things in our daily life such as
BTS, security guard, cockroaches in the house, police, Facebook, and student
life. All of these stories are very funny and interesting when we are told by Udom.
My favorite part is a student story. He talks about his life when he was a
student in Surin province. He also mentions about songs and games that children
at that time like to play. I’m very into this story because it reminds me of my
childhood. I used to sing all songs he mentioned. When he starts singing, I can
sing it all correctly.
The
key that makes him a successful comedian is probably patience and observation. I
remember that he got negative comments about his first show that it is not
going to work, but he’s still not give up. Besides, we sometimes never noticed little
things in our life but Udom can see it; he makes us agree with his statement that
it is true, and it used to happen to us. After his show, new words or slang also
occurred. It was used widely in social network, and among teenager such as เซาะกราวน์ (sor-ground), ลำปางหนาวมาก (Lampang-
nao- mak), อาร์ตตัวแม่ (art-tua-mae). The
new slang can prove that he is very famous, and he also influent some people to
use his words, including me. I sometime use his word ‘อาร์ตตัวแม่’ with friends.
I
watched the DVDs many hours, and I never get bored to watch his shows. I haven’t
laughed so hard for such a long time after the second semester exams. His
shows can make me laugh again. If
you would like to watch all episodes, I can lend you the DVDs.
Here
is the example from his show – using Facebook.
When he talks about taking photos of food and posting it on Facebook
before eating, I just can’t stop laughing. It remind me of some students in our class and
my friends.
I agree with Kankamon that Note(Udom) is the very talented person. He knows how to keep his audiences entertained throughout the show. He is such a lucky person who gets to do what he loves and earns a lot from it. What I like the most about him is that he is not afraid to fight for his dream and not being discouraged when people laughing at his dream. Actually, I met him once, about five years ago, he was very funny and friendly.
ReplyDeleteHe is a good role model for those who have not grown up in a warm and rich family. His parents got divorced and his mother raised him up with poverty. Even though he lived with terrible resentment and embarrassment during his childhood, he has been successful in looking after himself and fighting for the brighter future. Instead of being involved in different kinds of social problems like drugs, he can make use of his talent to turn his world upside down: from a kid that went to new school but still wore old school's uniform, or never got a single eraser but had to use the ones that come at the tip of his pencils; to a famous comedian man making more than enough money to live his life in a better condition.
ReplyDeleteHe is one of a talented public speaker. He knows how to change the big issues in Thailand to the comedy and no one who related to those issues mads at him. As I've watched his comedy show for all 9 episodes, one thing that makes him succeed is, he's a good observer.
ReplyDeleteEven though, he has a tough life, he's still an optimistic man. He uses the points in his life to make people happy. Moreover, I think he is a role model for people to look on the good side of every situation.
