Robber holds man at gunpoint. Asks him for his wallet. Man pulls wallet out of hind pocket, removes the money and hands over the empty wallet.
Robber is astonished. He pulls out a knife and threatens to cut his head off. Man asks him what else he wants. Robber says he doesn't know. He's new at these things. This and others are some of the jokes that some of the guest comedians unleashed at Pablo Live comedy show that will be celebrating a year in existence in two months' time.
Hebert Mendo a.k.a M7 has mastered the art of mimicking the president that he at times forgets and calls his friends for a cabinet meeting. Apart from mimicking the president, he has curved out his own style of comedy.
At times one wonders what radio station this guy listens to or where his hangout places are based. He knows how the locals speak, cry, laugh, eat and smell.
Then there is the hilarious duo of Bob and Simiyu a.k.a double double. These guys seem to know everything about nothing and nothing about anything. Their sense of humour would easily make Osama Bin Laden withdraw all his terror threats. They developed a concept of defending things people detest.
They have an imaginary institute of research that analyses the eye catching stories in the week and they give you a witty back-to-back breakdown of how it unfolded. According to unconfirmed reports, for example, they found out that if Straka Baibe wore a white dress and a blue belt, you would think it's a taxi.
If there is a person who has suffered in the comedy industry, it's Straka Mwezi. I was watching a comedy outfit dubbed mic check and almost every comedian was hitting at her.
One of the comedians said that Straka was standing in a parking lot and got issued with a parking ticket. She told the fella that she didn't have a car but the guy insisted that she was taking up the space.
It's not her problem that she's well endowed with extra flesh. I wish people knew how many men out there are dying to date Straka. Another comedian, on the same show, told a story of how Barbara Yata, the former Show time magazine host, whose weight is less than a tea bag, so he said, stood on a weighing machine and it screamed, "next!."
When Straka stood on the same weighing machine, it pleaded, "One at a time please!" I have written to the minister in charge of disaster preparedness requesting him to put a ban on using Straka as a comic specimen.
Back to Pablo Live show, the last two seasons had interesting guests. Hon. Dr. Miria Matembe was the winner. Her love story of how she met her husband was like a fairytale every woman would love to experience. It was a story of how Barbarita met Salvador in Bushenyi.
Then came Hon. Kabakumba Matsiko. She made the audience sing her kingdom's anthem Ekitiibwa kya Bunyoro. Angelina Waphakabulo showed the teens that break dance is nothing when she starts her kwasa kwasa strokes. These honorable women are a force to reckon with.
Musicians like Bobi Wine, Silver Kyagulanyi, Halima Namakula, GNL, Rabadaba, Ragga Dee and others showed the world that they went to school. Half the legend hip hop star Navio proved to be a legend and a half when he performed his Ngalo song that sent the audience into frenzy.
The show also hosted mesmerising guests who where high on suspicious grass and highly flammable liquids that make you understand why the world goes around. One of the guests greeted me and I got tipsy.
N.B Pablo Live is now on a break in preparation for season three that is meant to be ballistic. Having hosted the likes of Robert Kabushenga, Fagil Mandy, Mike Mukula and Elly Tumwine to mention but a few in the second season, we look forward to hosting your favourate politicians, musicians, artistes and yes, even you in the next season.
