Forget Swine Flu Mumbai boggled by new epidemic

Cyrusitis is likely to hit Mumbai within the next fortnight, with funny guy Cyrus Broacha returning to stage after a decade. He's joined by buddy Kunal Vijaykar in a war against Firang comedians who are raiding our comedy market

"It's an old-fashioned variety show," says Cyrus Broacha, about Cyrusitis, The One-and-a-half Man Show that opens in Mumbai in the next fortnight. Broacha and buddy-cum-partner-in-all-crimes Kunal Vijaykar take the stage with all-new original gags.






To sock rivals in theu00a0 face, Broacha and Vijaykar are desperately hunting for a "hot girl" to join them. "If we find her before the opening day, we'll include her too," says Vijaykar. The chances seem slim though. After all, Broacha tried hard to find a replacement for Vijaykar, and failed. "I asked Priyanka Chopra, Aishwarya Rai, even Jennifer Lopez. All three refused. I've even tried getting Himmesh to be with me. I'm forced to settle for Kunal," rues Broacha, who makes a comeback on stage after almost a decade.

As for the "One-and-a-half Man" part of the title, Broacha clarifies that it's Vijaykar who is the "half man" since he refused to keep standing on stage for 90 minutes. "Kunal says he has a hip problem, so he's only making 4-5 entries during the show. Why should he get the same credit I do when I'm going to be up there and toiling all along?"
