No, this is not a word for a saliva expectorated from your mouth or something to be thrown up. This SPIT I'm dealing with is a bunch of awesome people ready to give you a laugh you'll never forget!
I only once heard SPIT Manila once way back from a TV interview of Gabe Mercado and from then on, I never heard anything from it. It piqued my interest before because I saw the actors how funny they are and how they can make a room a laughing hordes of hyenas (forgive me on the word. LOL)
Luckily I was invited for a fantastic Thursday show of the Silly People's Improv Theater (SPIT) and they promise to give me and other guests a great laugh. So after my work at the clinic, I hurried myself and my boyfriend to go at Quantum Cafe in Makati City. Having a stressful week means we deserve a treat, a break from the piles of paperwork we have to handle.
Upon arrival at Quantum Cafe, we were greeted by happy smiling persons and each were taking turns talking to us, introducing themselves and giving us points on what to expect for tonight's show. We were offered to order whatever we want from the menu but unfortunately we had dinner before we got there. But we can't miss their Northern Mix Pizza (Php 150) -- whole wheat thin crust topped with tomato sauce, kesong puti and Ilocos longganisa. Yum! It has this distinct rich taste one would never resist to take a bite!
Happily eating the pizza, the show started!
From witty and entertaining games that involve the audience, the actors from SPIT promises to give each show unique from one to another since they mostly rely how the crowd will react. As much as I would like to give you insights on how they made me a laughing hyena the whole night, I'll leave you hanging from there. It's a MUST for you to definitely witness this awesome cool people actors of SPIT Manila!
