MANILA, Philippines -- A video of a stand-up comedienne impersonating
actress Angel Locsin is making the rounds online, days after it was
first aired on TV via the late-night gag show "Banana Split."
In the four-minute video, singer-comedienne Jenny and another
comedian, Iyah, are seen bantering. After impersonating a number of
popular singers -- Jaya, Charice and Sitti -- Jenny adjusts her demeanor
and voice to match Locsin's.
The comedienne proceeds to deliver Locsin's lines in the blockbuster
film "One More Try," referring to herself as the character Grace.
One of the lead stars in the 2012 Metro Manila Film Festival entry,
Zanjoe Marudo, is also seen in the video. The actor, who is one of the
hosts of "Banana Split," is invited by Iyah on stage to re-enact a scene
in "One More Try" with Jenny.
On the social networking site Facebook, the clip was uploaded on Wednesday night and quickly went viral. As of writing, it now has over 6,300 likes, over 7,800 shares, and 1,150 comments.
Most netizens shared their amusement with the similarity of Jenny's
speaking voice with that of Locsin. Facebook user Abner Malong said,
"May future! Sana mabigyan ng chance! Obvious na may talent!"
Netizen Elidrian Gutierrez, meanwhile, said, "Napatawa niyo ako, magandang simula para sa umaga ko."
