I attended a taping of the Losar Eve variety show this evening. Interesting enough. Some things worth noting:
1) They make you clap for 5 to 10 minutes beforehand and film that, so that they can edit it in at points they feel are appropriate. 2) There was no cross-talk or sketch comedy performance. 3) There weren't many big name performers outside of Rig 'dzin sgrol ma. 4) There were no performances in Chinese, and only 3 times in which emcees spoke Chinese. This number is pretty low. 5) The number of small children only speaking Chinese was mildly depressing. 6) It was kind of just boring 7) You should still watch it. I haven't provided too many spoilers.
