February

Harith Iskander’s…BUT THAT’S ANOTHER STORY,AGAIN! (English Comedy)
Presented by Principal Connection (M) Sdn Bhd

Well, here we are … into the 2nd month of 2006. Chinese New Year has just passed and Valentine’s Day is around the corner. Before you know it Puasa month will be on us again and soon we’ll be dragging out the Christmas decorations. Trust me, time goes by THAT fast! Oh, by the way, Gong Xi Fa Cai to all Malaysians and thank you for coming to the show. (Speaking of which, when I was growing up it was Kong Hee Fatt Choy … when exactly did it officially change to Gong Xi Fa Cai? … but that’s another story.)

Anyway, welcome to ‘Harith Iskander’s “…but that’s another story, again.” The reason there is an ‘again’ at the end of the sentence is because this is actually the second run of this performance; the first aptly titled Harith Iskander’s “… but that’s another story.” was held in the month of July 2005 at the Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Center.

Did you go and see it? … No? … What? … You didn’t even know it was on??? … well, that’s why I am doing it …. Again! It’s for all of those people (i.e. most of you) who missed the first round and asked for it again.

Actually I got the idea from Peter Jackson. He did the same thing with King Kong. For all those who missed the original version in1933 he did another one in 2005 … but that’s another story.

Anyway, I am not one to really harp on about ‘what this show is about’ mainly cause I think it will become self explanatory as you watch it. Neither am I one to expound too much on my achievements and past history …. You will hear all about that during the show.

All I will say is this is my 15th year of doing stand up comedy and I hope you enjoy the show as much as I enjoy doing it. And I am glad I left the job as an audio/visual producer in an advertising agency all that time ago to pursue this thing called ‘comedy’ or not I might not be saying the same thing .. but that’s another story.
