Four Men Give Mirth: Two Nights of Whose Line Is It Anyway?

As good as Beijing’s homegrown comedy and improv scenes are (and they have come on a lot in recent years), there’s nothing quite like the buzz you get from watching the professionals at work. Especially when they have to go on audience cues such as “Martian hospital drama,” “ventriloquist convention” and “vegan film noir.”

This week, the Punchline Comedy Club brings four pros who are well up to the task – they are all graduates of the British TV version of Whose Line Is It Anyway? They are playing two nights: Paddy’s Irish Bar (May 21) and Beer Mania (May 22).

Tickets are priced at RMB 350 on the night or RMB 300 in advance, which is a bargain if you think about all those endorphins you'll be enjoying. Get them from the venues or call Ian at 139 0639 0437.

Has this nonsense inspired you to give comedy a shot? How difficult can it be? Chance your arm at a Comedy Club China open mic night. There’s one tonight at Paddy’s Irish Bar in Tongli Studios. Public humiliation begins at 8.30pm.
