“LOL – Aftershow”: the comedians get together (and they see some good ones)

LOL – Who laughs is out, three weeks later. After thousands of memes, articles, parodies and followers leavened on Instagram like the freshly baked cake mix, Amazon Prime Video announces the renewal of the program, based on the original Japanese format Documentary film, and decides to bring together the ten competitors of the first in a special available on YouTube which, in about 50 minutes, tries to tell something more about what has been seen and, above all, about what the editing has left out, like Frank Matano who, in the last hour, has interacted with an ectoplasm.

“We didn’t understand what we were shooting: when you do that, you have no perception of how it will turn out. Certainly the music in the editing has done a lot: seeing comedians performing to make other comedians laugh in the most deafening silence has a certain effect “he explains. Fedez, the conductor of LOL together with Mara Maionchi.

And if Fru, who left “at the sixth hour”, explains that he was helped by his “spiritual retreat”, others, such as Katia Follesa, they tell of some hitch occurred during the registration phase. Like the cracked rib when Ciro Priello lifted her off the ground disguised as Barbie Tris di Primi: “I only disguised myself as a Barbie a Those who football and I think I will never do it again. When Ciro lifted me, I really felt a crack: in the following days I was bothered, but the doctor told me that we all have a movable rib that returns “says Katia while Frank returns to an age-old question: the sweating that made his shirt wet less than half an hour from the start of the program. “I tried the sanitary pads, but they didn’t help. I had already entered tense, which is why I sweated so much »adds Matano who, regarding the famous fluorescent tube sold like hot cakes on Amazon, specifies that it is a game he enjoyed as a child when he went to visit his grandparents in the United States.

The atmosphere gets hotter when helium talks about the tap that has brought almost all LOL comedians close to being sent off – «I see too many people around who put it on easy with tap. The truth is that in Italy we are 11 or 12 who do it really well “ – and the mythological Posaman di Lillo who was also hired by Fedez to surprise Leone – «I now have two identities» -. Open applause also for the catchphrase of Crazy Mignottone by Michela Giraud who, more than a comedian like the others, now feels like a “committed singer-songwriter” who dreams of becoming a “psycho-queen”, and for the “You shit” Angelo Pintus (“You did the Verona Arena and then this one” teases him Giraud). It closes the circle Caterina Guzzanti, who explained that she managed not to laugh thanks to the many years of apprenticeship in experimental TV, that is the low budget one – “If you laugh you have to redo the clapper and you go into extraordinary” – and, of course, the conductors Mara Maionchi and Fedez who rehearse to step into the shoes of the competitors trying to resist as long as possible without laughing. Too bad that their test lasts the time to say Adriano Celentano (see the special of LOL – Aftershow and you will understand why).
