As a result of crap tv comedy shows in Ramadan, and since Im not a fan of drama, I decided to take things in my own hand…

My wife and I were doing some family visits, and during a gathering everyone started talking about old Kuwaiti plays and shows. That got me in the mood for some old fashioned Kuwaiti comedy, back in the day when tv and the theater were very funny and more importantly, very smart! They used to give viewers respect, knowing that viewers actually think and appreciate real art, unlike know, where most comedy is like watching monkeys dancing and clowns throwing pies at each other!

So we went to Markaz AlFunoon in Hawalli in North Nigra Mall (7ilwa, no?), and I got a collection of oldies for the rest of the month, some of which I have seen, others I haven’t. One thing that surprised me was that the shop is still living in the 80’s, they still havent even gone to DVDs!

Today’s shopping cart includes -


فرسان المناخ (زينة حق هاليومين)هاها


حفلة على الخازوق


بني صامت


الكويت سنة 2000

Also, since I was getting some classics, I couldn’t resist getting this -


مدرسة المشاغبين

Any other recommendations? I highly recommend حفلة على الخازوق as one of the best plays, and the best part is that its spoken in Arabic, not Kuwaiti or any other accent!Watching any of them will make you cringe while watching any new tv show or play!

……what happened to us?
