The Comedy Open Mic Weekly Showcase

last year

Greetings

This is our weekly showcase where we highlight posts in this community shared here in the last seven days. These are the posts that have impressed us at COM the most.

Now, let's get into this week's showcase.

@zyzymena - Spur of the moment.

Anyway, that's not the business of today. Today, I'd like to talk about churches. All these men of God who claim that God has called them and wake up to start a church with a ridiculously long name should go back and check if it was a flash you saw and not a true call because why would a church bear such a name as "Devil is in Trouble Salvation Ministries International? Perhaps God sent you the name via text message. It's not funny. There are so many ridiculous church names in Nigeria. In Fact! Nigerians, help me with some in the comments section.

Funny rant on different aspects including some funny acts some Hive users do with their votes. It's an interesting read when you check it out.

@marajah - Be careful with your CV, it landed my friend into serious problem

You should know how people from that side do behave naa. Hehehe, they're water friendly and swimming is their twin.
Now, as soon as she came to Aba, she prepared her CV and started hunting for work. While preparing the CV, she added swimming as her hobby to which I objected since there is no where she can prove her swimming skills because there is no river or sea here to avoid implicating herself.
All my advice to her fell inside deaf ears because to her, she thinks she's an expert in swimming. Anyway, time will tell.

This author shares the experience of her friend whose CV record got her trapped, the post is about finding a house during dry season to find a flood area during rainy season.

@diikaan - Bankole

First is that Bankole is a very slippery guy that you can't actually Bank on. And just like the biblical Peter, there's always something fishy going on in his life, and he's not cut out for defending his friends when it matters. But one thing you can't take away from him is that he eats well.
Bankole is a well fed dude with enough paunch of an evidence to show for it. He loves wearing starchy shirts that just hang squarely off his shoulders, leaving his "Christian mother hand" protruding off the sides and his head hanging on top (neckless) that makes him look like a human size but dwarfed SpongeBob.

This author describes a guy in a very funny way but, way too much info about the guy called Bankole.

@kingsleyy - My missing kitchen knife

I once said here, how my freshly prepared food got soured when my gas finished at night and I could not mutter out so I could use their gas to warm my food. That's how high my pride is, and I love it. I hate to be 'see finish'(over familiarity).
Some couple of weeks ago, I noticed that my kitchen knife was missing when I was about to cook. I searched everywhere, to the extent of searching book pages, but nothing was there.

He lost his knife and had no idea how he did but found a knife looking like his own, claiming it to his is still a case to be looked into as he ended his write up with his neighbor searching for her knife as well.

@adoore-eu - GRIPPED WITH FEAR: KIDS PRANK GONE WRONG

But the man upon returning back from work the next day saw his son sitting and playing inside the white chalk mark. He shouted and asked the child never to go near there, but the child drew him near to see, that it was not even a chalk mark but spoilt flour which he has been asked to throw away but decided to prank his Dad with it. I learnt the boy is still receiving beating till now.

What fear does is what this author shared with funny experiences and stories, you'll enjoy this COM post.
