THE COMEBACK TIMES FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20, 2006 ENTERTAINMENT


PETALING JAYA: The ComeBackKings recorded their first performance that featured them as the main and only performers.

The event, held in The One World Hotel
, was attended by 200 workers and partners of the host who witnessed The Kings' on-demand comical introduction to the evolution of dance as an appetiser to a delayed dinner schedule.

After a few rounds of lucky draws, The Kings strutted their most popular dance-comedy skit "Dance History 101" and were greeted with gales of laughter. They then wrapped up their night by giving the crowd a "dance lesson". The loudest cheer, however, was reserved for a ballroom door detaching and falling from its huge frame. Although the event was not all smooth sailing, it nevertheless was a worthwhile treat for the crowd.

Meanwhile, backstage in The Kings' makeshift changing space, rumour has it that The Kings' on-stage antiques were met by criticisms for failing to adhere to the status quo of malnutritioned and skinny bodies.

The sole target of the criticisms, Chi Ho, expressed his honest regret and promised a change. "I know my bulging stomach doesn't look good in a semi-transparent, body fitting, white T," he said, "and I promise to lose weight. From now on, I will stop taking snacks between breakfast and brunch."

Besides appearance, The Kings have a lot to change and a lot to improve before confronting any more criticisms in the future. Nevertheless, The Kings live by a motto that states; "the harshest critics are from those that you're close to and which is usually unsaid."

Venue: Grand Premiere Seri Pacific Hotel, Kuala Lumpur
(**phew!**)


Never in The Kings' performing experience have they seen so many impersonators. From Elvis to MJ, from Tina Turner to Tina Turner in a different dress, this event has it all. And what better event to have The Kings' "Dance 101". (I hate to mentioned it again but its the funniest way to find out how so many famous dances came to be.)

With the crowd all out to party and a theme that tributes the 3 most memorable decades in our lifetime, The Kings' on demand skit fitted in better that O.J. Simpson's bloodied gloves. The timing of their slot was excellent; just before the dance floor opened!

However, once again the stage was a bit tight but nevertheless, there is always room to improvise.
