"A pizza feeds a family of four...", answers King Matt and how right he is.

Performing arts is perhaps the most demanding field but reaps the least rewards. Jokes can go stale, knees can grow old and opportunities can be scarce as beer and cigarrette prices keep soaring. But, have no fear, The Kings were always ever-ready to take on the harshness of this modern over-commercialized life with SIDE JOBS!

The blend of side jobs in the troupe is pretty unique since the CBKs were formed with three parts Mass Communications, two parts Engineering and one part Hotel Management.

And when it comes to side jobs, King Niggy is obviously ahead with, sometimes, too much on his plate. Singing for bands, rapping, stand-ups, emceeing, etc ... you name it and King Niggy will give it a good optimistic thought. To top it all up, Niggy is still pursuing his Honours and is about to receive a certificate from his gym for his remarkable attendance!




Very far behind, but of no chronological order, would be the rest and King Ronnie. This self-proclaimed Spartan (please do ask him WHY...) is King Niggy's favourite partner-in-crime on emceeing assignments and cohort in their 'other' comedy group prompting the other Kings to think that the CBKs might hold the same fate as N'SYNC. (Yes. Let's all finger our chins and give King Niggy and Ron our most suspicious look, shall we? 1, 2, 3, Hmmm...)





While the more (ahem!) loyals ones, namely King Matt, King Jon and King Chi Ho, usually remain guarded and when chance comes, they will depatch themselves as the F.R.U.** members of the events world. Heave, carry, setup, push, dismantle, sweat, smell - these are just some mere words to describe the magnitude of their part-time jobs. By the way, King Chi Ho also mans King Ronnie's chariot to ensure King Ronnie arrives back at his castle before bed-time. King Chi Ho regards this as a side job for he earns punchlines to black mail King Ronnie for no reason.

And finally, for a period of time, Kings Niggy, Ronnie and Chi Ho, were weekly stand-ups in Pampas (a South American bar/restaurant along Changkat Bukit Bintang) & Bojangles (Sri Hartamas). Now, the Kings are relishing a return and with their new materials, including King Chi Ho's current favourite opening joke - "Have you ever choked on something while playing Charades ..."




... its really that bad, huh?
