In the event of the risen (and still rising) oil prices, drastic measures were taken by people from all walks of life to curb their own oil-induced sufferings.

So for our next show, which is tomorrow (July 19, 8.30pm onwards), tickets will be priced at RM85 and RM95 (plus dinner). yes, start cursing in Hokkien!

The show will be held at:

La Cocina Restaurant
38, Jalan USJ 9/5P,
Subang Central, UEP 47620
Subang Jaya,
Selangor Darul Ehsan Malaysia.

For more information, please call:
Tel: 03-8023 2395
Mobile: 012-2096573

THIS IS NO JOKE OKAY! and we are the hired performers but really the ticket prices shocked us and the Harith Iskanders and Jit Murads are going through an identity crisis! But sorry for the 11th hour update.

Dear friends, fans and family,

The past 10 days were truly memorable for The Kings. They can't really express their appreciation and satisfaction in full length (for the time being) but here is a brief update...

29 April - Halo Cafe, Sunway Pyramid
Three Kings - King Chi Ho, King Nigesh and King Ronnie - along with their close friend Kavin, performed in front of a sell out crowd, with most of attendees coming from Klang. Am pretty sure cheap booze and bak kut teh are not talk of the town any more...

2 - 3 May - Jaya One, Petaling Jaya
The Kings' first public show of 2008 and a golden chance for the masses to watch them for free. Unfortunately, only close family members, close friends and some hardcore fans came to watch, marred by 'those involved in exporting Malaysia's human capital to foreign countries'...

5 May - Luna Bar, Kuala Lumpur
Performed on the rooftop of one of KL's most talked about hang outs, The Kings can't help but to tell you all what you've been missing...

Next stop, The Kings are just somewhat involved in an 'invite only' show in this small place called... what was it again? Oh yeah, Heritage Mansion. Oh well, nothing surprises The ComeBackKings any more.

Will be back with more pictures on a less busy day (sigh) When will that day be...?

Our first public performance of the year! And to add icing on the cake, ITS FREE! So come and show your support!

No more saying things like "Oi, where y'll perform lah. Haven't see your performance leh..."

The performances will be held at the 'mezzanine' area on Level 1, tucked next to Secret Recipe, Duck King Restaurant and StarBucks. Already, Jaya One has hosted 'Acoustic Jaya', where 'stars' like Azmyl Yunor, Estralla, Jerome Kugan & Tan Sei Hon converged on 18 & 19 April 2008.

And a few reminders or tips to get to Jaya One:

1) Jaya One is not Jaya 33 (the one with True Fitness and 'that' pedestrian bridge).

2) Nor is it 'the one opposite the Toyota showroom' (qouted from King Jon, 2008).

3) The original Jaya Supermarket is now empty (in case you're wondering and still lost).

4) Jaya One is the one opposite the Section 17 Pasar Tani, just a few blocks from the International Islamic University. If you can spot a huge-ass 'Old Town Coffee House', you've arrived at your destination.

5) Unless you know how to get there, do not attempt to drive there alone, King Ronnie!

There were some complaints about the sound and quality of the Samy Vellu Song but hey... what can I do in the comfort of my own home and with basic home appliances. Will try to improve on our technicalities if time and fortunes permit.

But I hope there's less complaints on this new one... although I feel that the topic and content would certainly rattle the cage of some.

Wish to inform all who watch this video that not all Kings endorse its content. It was never meant to hurt unless you fall off your chair laughing...

Enjoy...

The recent elections presented more shocks than surprises. And nothing was more shocking and unsurprising than SV's lost in Sg. Siput. The news threw the whole Malaysian comedy scene in utter disarray. So much so that the first people who voiced their disapprovals toward SV's impending departure from the political scene were comedians who want SV in power to prolong their comedic careers, and, not to mention, to ensure they're guaranteed of new materials.

However, as budding comedian with a long future ahead, The ComeBackKings say...

"HE IS STILL ALIVE WERT!"

The following music video is how we will always remember him. Hope you ppl like it!

A lot has been going on The Kings' minds lately. A mental tug-of-war is brewing right beneath their crowns over which side of the rope they should cling on; POPULARITY or EXCLUSIVITY.

Why so? As the Kings venture into the endless prospects of cyberspace (meaning www.gua.com.my) , they are exposed to its endless demands as well. And when these demands come from a majority of the lowest common denominators, The Kings must adapt to their limitations, thus moving away from The Kings' endless potentials and, unfortunately 'who they really are'.

I ask again' "Who The ComeBackKings really are?"

Do we watch 'Scenario' and laugh and follow their lead or do we stay as Kings and make people earn their laughter through thought.

If you understand this entry, be the judge of which 'end of the rope' The Kings should tug; POPULARITY or EXCLUSIVITY.


Some writer who's book didn't sell.

Showbiz isn't easy. All the hours and days, preparing and scheduling, coupled with natural and human interferences, can make or a break your day. Don't get The Kings wrong. They ain't complaining. Just ask King Jon.

On 23 August, King Jon stayed up one whole night under the watchful eyes of King Matt, who helped him get into 'character'. That's because King Jon was casted as the lead role in King Chi Ho's latest script, a parody of those Japanese horror films featuring household items. Basically, what King Jon needed to do is sleep. His ability to sleep in virtually every terrain puts a crown on his head.

At around tea time on 24 August, The Kings assembled in King Niggy's castle, awaiting the crew of Michael and Aidil (our new 'Joke Aje' director) for The Kings second shoot. Upon arrival, the two-man crew from MediaPrima expertly deployed their equipments and with a quick recee of the area, The Kings were good to shoot.

The setting was simple, King Jon (who was duely encouraged to sleep on his job) in a sarong and singlet, a bed and an old school alarm clock. Aidil's array of dynamic shots and creative visualization in the shoot were merely subtle hints of what a great asset he was for our future episodes. After only an hour, it was a wrap. Again, it all boiled down to the editing team and in just a few days, The Kings have a masterpiece courtesy of the MediaPrima team - The Alarm Clock.


Enjoy and please do let us know of your thoughts about the video.

It all started with an sms. And a little bit of luck. Cheryl Bastian, a good friend of The Kings from the time they first won a talent competition, IACT Talent Search back in 2004, sent King Matt an sms, roughly stating that she can make The Kings ‘famous’. King Matt promptly gave Cheryl a call and a meeting was set at Sri Pentas (TV3 Head Office).

Fast forward to the meeting, The Kings met a Mr. Michael D’Oliveiro and passed him a copy of The Kings Dance 101 preview VCD. He liked it. Michael explained how MediaPrima have huge plans to venture online. The Kings like it. The Kings, then, pitched a few more ideas, he liked them too, particularly an idea of a kidnapping scene gone wrong.

He is human after all: King Niggy fails to
strike a pose with Cheryl and King Matt.

So, The Kings’ first Internet TV debut video, ‘Kidnapped’, came to be. As Michael was keen to shoot within a few days, the date and venue (classified location) was quickly set. With everything set in place by both parties, the shoot became more imminent. The Kings, oblivious of the prospects that await them on the Net, appeared somewhat jittery on the set but nevertheless, utmost enthusiastic and optimistic.

And now, fast forward again about 2 months since Cheryl’s sms, you can all enjoy our videos by simply following these steps:

Yes, we are on TV! Internet TV that is.

Kings Chi Ho & Niggy were at Maison's for launch of Media Prima's new online experience, www.gua.com.my. They snapped quite a few pictures but the only piece of hard cheese was. . . King Chi Ho lost his camera! King Chi Ho is rather shackled by this lost and promises a kingly gift to those who've accidentally taken his Majesty's camera to return it safely to him.

And back to the launch. As King Matt Ho and Jon were still busy dodging responsibility in Bangkok, King Joonie and Ronnie were also busy with their own professional commitments, this means that King Chi Ho & Niggy were the only representatives of the troupe.

Surrounded by celebrities and prominent contributors of the media industry, Kings Chi Ho & Niggy learnt the downside of not-so-famous performers like themselves; people stare and never approach you. So, the two Kings found themselves admiring the interiors of Maison's, which they don't often do, as the event started at late noon! Seeing sunlight beaming through the club's many windows was rather uneasy, apart from the free-flowing flat beers.

But nevertheless, the two Kings had a few bar-side banters, some food, some contacts, some beers and some fun for a short and sweet launch. '

And oh, let's get straight to The ComeBackKings videos! As a handful might already know, The Kings were committed to shooting 20 short videos for a segment called 'Joke Aje' in the website.

The Kings' debut video, Kidnapped, was rather amateurish and mistake prone but its the script that The Kings would like you to like. But still, its okay lar, first time mah!

The Kings' second video, The Alarm Clock, is much more enjoyable though. Sadly, some mistakes were made on the editing side that prevented King Chi Ho a kingly mention as the royal behind the script and video concept. Sigh, another lesson learnt by a not-so-famous performer.

Oh well. As The Kings move slightly ahead on professional progress, it is still a long road to walk. So do help us monitor our progress and walk along with us as there are 18 more videos waiting for you!

Thank you for your support. . . really!
