Manny Pacquiao comes to Apollo Theater in Def Comedy Jam stint -- Examiner

By Michael Marley, Examiner.com

I really can't believe my luck.

That standup guy Manny Pacquiao, often referred to as the Richard Pryor or Aaron Pryor of Filipino comedy, is showing his show buiness versatility.

Evidently, Pacman got tired of crooning in dingy karaoke bars where all the drunks kept yelling for "My Way" and the Floyd Mayweather song, "Melancholy Baby."

So Pacquiao has crossed over to the Land Of Funny and giving it a real go as a comic.

Do not confuse his standup with Ricky Hatton's unique brand of laydown comedy.

Which reminds me that, come May 9, Hatton will be celebrating a one year anniversary of he wowed them in Las Vegas with his IHOP pancake platter impression in the ring against Da Pacman.


Anyway, latest word is that Steve Harvey and all those cats better be on the lookout as Pacquiao is coming to play on Def Comedy Jam at famed Harlem, NYC, African American showplace Apollo Theater.

Man, if that doesn't dent Mayweather's humungous ego, nothing will. Imagine, Pacman trodding the same stage that such Mayweather Family idols as Soul Brother Number One James Brown did, wow...

Thanks to the humorous folks at Funny Or Die for the video laughs.
