in one of the world’s most dangerous cities
is a little man who stares down the miseries of war
and he does it with little more than a laugh
majajo is the top comedian in
the
but when majajo is on stage workin’ it – the juice is always on
with so much bad around him – he’s always got plenty of good material
(and we thought that bush and palin were blessings for comics)
‘i just want to make people laugh and forget their problems’ majajo says
- but with the women covered-up in sheets and no alcohol at the ‘clubs’
he has his work cut out for him, but in spite of it all… he’s a hit
majajo doesn’t really have a routine,
he just kinda wings-it and his audiences love it
he makes himself available for ALMOST any occasion
weddings, parties, birthdays, bar-mitzvahs
(well, I don’t think many bar-mitzvahs)
- majajo dazzles the crowd and he is apparently hilarious,
hilarious in pashtu…
there’s not that many special occasions in ol’
seems the good times are long gone
not since they were fighting off the russians have things been so bad
so there's not much call for a funny man in this town,
majajo is only able to pull down about $200 a month
- about the same as a ‘working’ comedian in
he always knew he had it in his blood the be funny
and he knew he didn't want that blood spilled on the streets
- never wanted to be a soldier or policeman…
just like here, not all his material is politically correct
but there, - the taliban have issued death threats
- those guys just have no sense of humor
so majajo is smart and stays away from certain subjects
when he talks about women – it’s just about their eyes
and when joking about the government,
- he doesn’t joke about the government…however
there is a slight political undercurrent to some of his humor
in a self-deprecating way he’ll poke fun at the poverty the illiteracy
and with his ever-present pantomime twists and twitches,
he shows how funny it is dodging shrapnel
just the good stuff, no bombs from the comedian of kandahar
