Original Kings of Comedy Page #3

Synopsis: February 26 and 27, 2000, the Original Kings of Comedy play Charlotte, NC. The themes are Blacks and Whites, men and women, old-school and hip-hop. Steve Harvey emcees, celebrates '70s music and lyrics of love, and pokes at folks in the front row. D.L. Hughley mines racial differences and talks about his marriage. Cedric the Entertainer riffs on a Black president and on being grown up. Bernie Mac, who says he expresses what's in the back of our minds, closes with reflections on being 42 (new aspects to his sex life and his attitude toward children). Spike Lee's camera takes us backstage and off-stage with the Kings and into the crowd where everyone's laughing.

- What is it?

"Thunder Storm" is on show

at Neighbour Theatre.

"Thunder Storm"? Good!

Miss, what's your name?

Piu, and you?

This is your name, really?

Whatever I told you,

just call me Piu, idiot?

You're really a student?

Sure I am, I'm still a virgin,

isn't that great?

It's your luck, Uncle.

Let's play 'Chai Fist'?

I don't know how to play it.

You don't know 'Chai Fist'?

Have you been educated?

Fanny, come here.

Your belly is really big!

Mind you can't get into the coffin.

'Chai Fist', Bingo!

Come on, relax, have some fun.

Cheer up, why did draw your face?

Your parents are dead or something?

Chai Fist', Bingo!

Triangle, rectangle, four!

Good, I'll drink!

Tonight is College Girls'

First Love Evening.

So please mind your words,

do behave like a student girl.

If clients complain about you again,

then I can't help you anymore.

What College Girl? Just a damned trick.

If I can be a college girl,

I won't be working here.

You believe you did nothing wrong?

Mamasan, the man at Table 7

is really ugly.

I can't stand it and

I am not doing business with him.

Do you all want to

be selecting on clients?

No...

You're too much.

You are not professional,

you can concentrate on one single.

One single spot?

If that man is ugly,

you needn't look at him.

If his ears are pretty,

just stare at his ears.

If his mouth is ugly but the teeth

are nice, just look at his teeth.

So you new comer are really ignorant.

Let me deal with him.

Come on, watch what I'll do.

Be smart.

Hi!

You're pretty.

What's your name, Boss?

My name is Pierre.

It's a French name.

Are everyone says I look like

a Frenchman, so I get a French name.

If you can't pronounce that well,

just call me Pi or Erre.

What's on?

You used to be proud,

now you get a lesson.

You can't blame me, he's a real rarity.

Have you seen anyone

put a cockroach on his head?

What's the problem?

Look at LuLu,

she's playing with that cockroach now.

I admit failure.

OK, from now on,

you won't have clients to sit at.

You'll be bored to death.

You're all like this.

Connie, come and teach her for me.

You're not amateur, you should know

you must act in front of clients.

But your problem is: you acting stinks.

I can do nothing about it.

I hear someone teaches acting for free.

I'll take you to see him.

Teaches acting?

- Hey, men.

- Yes!

Hurry up, start working.

You again?

Morning, Brother Sunny.

Aunt Ha!

I'm looking for him too.

I haven't given you a notice,

what brings you here?

Remember last time that you asked me

to think about the ways to die.

I've thought over and

I have some new ideas now,

and I believe my performance
