Racial stereotypes, ethnic clichés and culture differences will
be at the forefront on Wednesday, Oct. 17, as the Boone Saloon hosts what’s been hailed as one of
North America’s most entertaining multicultural comedic showcases, “The Most RACES Show on Earth!
(MRSOE!).”
MRSOE! is a stand-up comedy show that examines racial and ethnic differences
through the lens of laughter. After selling out numerous venues in Canada and the United States
since 2005, MRSOE! is embarking on its first tour across the southeastern U.S. The show in Boone is
one of 16 stops.
“The Most RACES Show on Earth! helps us to better understand one another,”
said Neil Bansil, creator and producer of MRSOE!. “The barriers between cultures cannot be easily
dissolved; sometimes it’s actually the shock value of a lot of the jokes that inspires people to
start thinking. The more we realize our differences, the more we are the same because we all laugh
at the same things.”
This show features a cast of five funny and edgy comedians from various
ethnicities, Bansil said, including Noah Gardenswartz (Jewish-American – 2012 Bay Area Comedy
Competition semi-finalist); Viet Huynh (Vietnamese-American – 2009 Southeastern Funny People Search
winner); Landry (Jamaican-Canadian – 2012 World Series of Comedy winner); Trixx (Ghanaian-Canadian –
N.Y. Comedy Festival); and Bansil (Filipino-Canadian-American – creator of MRSOE!).
The Most
RACES Show on Earth! takes place on Wednesday, Oct. 17, at 9 p.m., at the Boone Saloon. Tickets are
$5 and are available at the door. A portion of the proceeds from each show will go toward the YWCA
Stand Against Racism initiative. For tickets, visit http://www.mrsoe.com or visit the Boone Saloon at 489
