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.

@kingsleyy - Fluids from catarrh

Then, a blow came; she sneezed so loudly, and I could see, from a very sensitive corner of my eye, that the liquids from the nostrils had dropped on her food and her lap.
Hey, I needed not to make her feel embarrassed, as she's a member of my club (Catarrh Club). I just remained coded, fully concentrated on my phone.

This author shares an hilarious experience he had in a bus with a lady having a running nose.

@leemah1 - Looking for her real skin color

I asked her to elaborate because I still can't understand, is this not your real color I asked and she said yes. She said she followed her friend travelled to the city in looking for the greener pastures but when she gets there, she wanted to be as beautiful as her other friends. She was a beautiful black lady, but since all her friends have fair skin she wants her skin to be fair too and she bought a bleaching cream now she is more than fair, she is now white.

This author shares how she got in trouble helping a crying lady who turned out to be looking for her real skin colour, an hilarious read.

@kushyzee - Me vs sport betting

I always watched people play but I never for once indulged in it, I didn't like it. One form of this betting is called virtual and just like the name says, you try to guess which team is going to win in a virtual match and the whole thing takes place in a few minutes.
One day, I was predicting which teams would win in a virtual game and all my predictions came through. It happened 4 times in a row and my friends kept screaming like crazy whenever my prediction came through.

This author shares his betting experience, how it started well while he wasn't betting money but got bad when he used money.

@adoore-eu - DRAMA DURING COVID -19 PANDEMIC

Who else saw someone who blew COVID -19 out of proportion? I am not underestimating the effect of Covi-19, neither am I naive like some who up till now argues whether it was real.
What I meant that some blew it out of proportion is that some people I know were so scared of it and never joked with it. In the process they were so dramatic about their safety.
Foremost among them was a relative living with us.

This author shares a time from when covid 19 was the fear for many and the reaction a close relative displayed.

@princessbusayo - Another period in my beloved country. What's the way out?

Seriously, the only thing keeping us alive and jiggy is the funny skits we watch and entertain ourselves with, even the white people cannot stop wanting more from us, the Nigerians because no matter how tough the economy is, we find things to laugh at while forgetting our sorrows and maybe when there are no more jokes around, then we would go back to our abandoned problems but I don't think it would turn out to be that way leaving us to no other option. Let's just keep staying happy and subscribing to those funny skits and comedies. If you don't have subscriptions, you know what? Go for the free ones but you have to stay awake all through the night for that

This author shares a comedy out of the situation in Nigeria.

@hopestylist - STOP LISTENING TO LOUD MUSIC

I was with my siblings, we were all seated and I didn't want them to ask me to remove the song from repeat mode because I enjoy music more on repeat mode but obviously not everyone find that okay you see. I listened to the song the first time and I only mumbled it a little, I wasn't in the mood then I guess. When the song started playing the second time, I began, hope began to sing in her melodious voice people, oh my!

This author shares a funny musical time she had that turned to be less of a musical time.
