Correction:

In the 12/6/06 edition of the ImaginAsian Radio newsletter, a photo of Russell Peters mistakenly accompanied the article on Intense Comedy Night. ImaginAsian Radio regrets the misprint and any misrepresentation the use of his image with the article may have caused as Russell Peters is not in any way affiliated with Intense Comedy Night.

What's the one thing that everyone needs in his or her life? Still pondering that thought? Well, ponder no more, because Intense has put together INTENSE COMEDY NIGHT! Intense provides comedians a chance to showcase their talents while helping to fight the taboo that the South Asian community has placed on a career as a comedian. With increased popularity, the event has grown in size.

INTENSE COMEDY NIGHT provide an alternative entertainment source. Past performers have included top comedians such as Aladdin, the famed Professor Gauthum of American Desi, the one woman act, Vijai Nathanm the infamous Vidur Kapur.

For more information or if you are an inspiring comedian and would be liked to be considered for an Intense Comedy Night, please visit www.intenseonline.com.
