Laughing=medicine for the soul

Last night I definitely overdosed on laughing. I went to The Laughing Samoans ‘Crack Me Off” show in Tauranga. I knew that there would be a lot of laughing involved but who would have thought it was exactly what the doctor had ordered.

By the end of the week I am exhausted and last night all I wanted to do was curl up in front of the tele with a blanket, watch a dvd while the rain fell on the roof; a perfect night to hibernate. BUT I had a ticket and had been anticipating The Laughing Samoans for a good couple of months.

And oh what a night it was!!!!!

Had the best seats in the house; third row from the front bang smack in the middle. As soon as it began the whole of Baycourt theatre were in hysterics. Which continued for a couple of hours. So you can only imagine the sore checks and abdominal muscles. If anyone hadn’t done there 15 minute ab work out for the day, they got a whole weeks worth in one night.

Tofiga and Eteuati have built such a rapport with the Island and Maori community as they take the mickie out of Samoan’s and entertain audiences over New Zealand and the world.

The Laughing Samoans have their own website. ‘Crack Me Off’ is there latest show, but there other shows are available on dvd.

If you are feeling a little down in the dumps with this cold snap, then pop on down to the dvd store and get The Laughing Samoans out on dvd. I can recommend the ‘Small Samoan Wedding’ and ‘Off Work’
