Transcript

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.
