(Postponed from FEB 29th to MARCH 14th to APRIL 1st)
This year is a Leap Year.
To celebrate the leapness of this year, on the evening of Sunday, the 29th of February 2004, there's going to be a stand-up comedy show, followed by a Tabla & Didgeridoo (an Australian Baja) performance in Kathmandu.
It's going to be fun-filled, enjoyable evening. The organizer -- and the manager of the Cafe -- Runeeta Rai is going to charge a modest fee. Coffee, food, 'wines and swines'
will be served.
Come one, come all, dressed in your finest feathers, and let's make this Leap Year
day a memorable one.
Place: Dhokaima Cafe, Patan Dhoka
Starting at: 6:30 pm
Since the show is going to be an interactive one, rotten tomatoes and pigeon-eggs will be provided so that the audience can throw them at the performer if the comedy sucks.
Tabla performance by Sarita Mishra & The Chelis
Didgeridoo performance by: Salil Subedi
Stand-up comedy written and performed in a mixture of English-Nepali languages by: Oohi Ashu.
Sarita Mishra is one of Nepal's leading tabla players, affiliated with Pashupati's Kirateswor Sangeet Ashram. The Chelis is an all-female classical music band, led by Sarita.
Salil Subedi is a writer, musician, composer and a theater performer. He is a self-taught didge player.
Oohi Ashu believes in the mantra of "Ask not what your country can do for you,
do it yourself". If there's no stand-up comedy show in Nepal, then, start one yourself.
