Week #16 types of comedy

Trying to get everything ready in time is going to be a big challenge now; I just realized that we have 5 rehearsals left and we dont have the play ready. Even though it is clear that now we are working faster than before and it is not like we are very far away from getting everything ready with time to spare, but what I am worried about is that we may get it ready in time but there wont be enough time to polish the play.
Apart from this I believe that the play is coming together better than I expected, it is mainly because there is one scene in the play where we use slapstick and I am part of it and first of all it is very entertaining to do, second I think it looks very good and third it adds that comedy element that I think the play was lacking. I say this because even though we do have some jokes here and there, they are very few of them and the ones that are there are very lame. I really believe that the slapstick may be the most memorable part of our play because if we are going for a comedic performance this kind of comedy is the one that will be most popular with the audience.
A couple of weeks ago I was discussing with a friend about the different kids of humor in different places, doing this we came to the conclusion that humor in Europe (specially England) is sarcastic and smart, humor in the united states of america is "realistic"or talks about real life situations, we can see this in sitcoms or stand up comedy shows where the comedians mock different real life situations. We were not very sure about how comedy was in places like Japan or China but we had an idea, it is more outrageous, what we meant by that is that for example if you watch prank videos from that part of the world or even game shows you can notice that they are very over the top, with things that would never be accepted by people from this side of the world.
Then we had to decide what comedy was like here in Peru and it was not hard at all, comedy here is mostly slapstick, people here like seeing other people get hit or falling down or geting a pie thrown at their face, and as far as verbal comedy goes we like very simple and raunchy jokes sometimes even being very obscene. We like to see a guy dressed as a woman calling another man a homosexual while falling down the stairs.
That is why I think that if we stick with the slapstick, even though the audience is part of the BSP their perception of comedy is influenced by the country they live in and if we have stupid, simple and raunchy jokes like for example a man dressed as a nurse with big boobs we will have the audience laughing because that is what people here really enjoy, including myself.
