The Kapuso Comedy Festival: Paolo Contis, Ruffa Mae Quinto, Charise Solomon, Kevin Santos, Mosang and Boobay

It was a super fun night to be with the brightest comedy stars of GMA a few days ago in what was dubbed as the Kapuso Comedy Festival. We got the chance to experience playing small games with Bubble Gang's Paolo Contis, Ruffa Mae Quinto, Charise Solomon, Ismol Family's Kevin Santos, Pepito Manaloto's Mosang during the blogcon at TGI Friday's in Tomas Morato, Quezon City. Hosting the small gathering was super funny Boobay who's also a part of Celebrity Bluff. It was a blast to meet new people and very talented ones at that. During the event, we first talked to the people from Bubble Gang who's actually celebrating their 20th year in the show. They planned a big event last November 27 and sure enough, there were tons of stars who went back on the show. This includes those who have also gone and sought refuge in other networks. They were all dolled up and gorgeous, I saw it on TV.

Here are some excerpts during the Kapuso Comedy Festival Blogcon:

It's such a good thing to see that GMA is still making efforts to make shows that are apt for the general Filipino audience. We still smile a midst the countless problems we have in our daily lives. Comedy is hard to do, they all agreed to that. In fact some of them do find it quite difficult to crack a joke than cry in a scene. The personalities, as varied as they might seem like on screen have one thing in particular in mind when they entertain people... they think about YOU, the viewing public and how you could spend a couple minutes of your time in front of the TV and forget the day's problems. No matter how small you think that is, it means countless  hours of work and brainstorming for most of these comedians. They even promise to do more in the future especially Bubble Gang who already informed us of new characters and new gimmicks in the next episodes. Are you excited as I am? :)

Thank you to GMA Social Media, Paolo Contis, Ruffa Mae Quinto, Charise Solomon, Kevin Santos, Pepito Manaloto, Mosang and Boobay for spending time with us. It's such a nice thing to get to know and talk to you personally. Again, thank you!

Ruffa Mae, Candy, Ate Gay, Gladys and Kim Idol: 4 DA BEST + 1

It's going to be a riot when you experience 4 DA BEST + 1 this 2015. This has been in the helm of Director Andrew De Real for years now and this time they've got a new set of comedians and comediennes including an international tour later this year. This is also the first time they are making it a full continuous scene so you wouldn't be left hanging and laugh without stopping, that was the promise of Andrew De Real.

They will also delve on current events and maybe event create characters off of that. Ruffa Mae is going to be the sexy siren cum other woman, whilst Candy Pangilinan becomes the legal wife, Ate Gay will be the mashup queen and Gladys Guevarra will belt it out, it's good clean fun but of course I don't think they'll be holding back since it's all live!

The first show will be at the Music Museum on March 13 and 14 but they'll be having tons of shows elsewhere in the country and even an international tour. They're all excited to go to the US also and for first timer Ate Gay it would be a dream to go there to perform for our kababayans. Candy also says when you're tired and you see OFW's approach and ask for photos, you just can't say no because you need to give them what they deserve as they've worked hard for what they pay for in these shows. Ruffa Mae admits this thing is pretty new to her, but she's glad that she's working with veterans in the industry. Gladys on the other hand is pretty happy with the combination and she knows how much 4 DA BEST has been able to provide countless shows outside the country and she's ready to even do whatever it takes to make them happy. Consequently it's also Gladys' birthday and this was a welcome gift. 

Director Andrew De Real says "When we started he was only 21 and I tried it with Arnel Ignacio. Broadsheets said it was a comedy bar and that started a couple more establishments. I also taught a lot of people even behind the stage and if there's a chance, perhaps a school would be put up but for now we're going to build finds for it.

The cast thanked everyone for supporting them and they promise to make it a fun night for the best people that will watch their concert. March 13 and 14 at the Music Museum! Tickets are also sold on SM Ticket outlets and in Music Museum too!
