From February 4 to 8 (December 25 to 29), the program "On the boat under the dock" was designed to float on Tau Hu canal, gathering many comedy groups to participate alongside singers, drama, traditional opera and amateur music groups.
Comedy groups: Kieu Oanh, Tan Hoang, Hoang Map, Phuong Dung, Phi Phung, Thuy Muoi, Huu Nghia, Tung Linh, Mai Dung, Phuong Binh... have received encouragement from many audiences who love satirical comedies.

With the theme "Spring of love - Tet reunion", the Spring Flower Festival for the Lunar New Year of Giap Thin at Tao Dan Park (HCMC), taking place from February 6 to 15 (December 27 to the 6th day of Tet) will have the participation of many artists who are loved by the audience.

For the first time, Ho Chi Minh City Television will combine HTV7 and HTV9 from the first to the fourth day of Tet with many art programs, including the participation of comedians.
People's Artist Ngoc Giau expressed that this is an opportunity for comedians and comedy groups to re-organize themselves, participate in a cultural space imbued with Vietnamese identity, and enjoy the jubilant images of people from all walks of life celebrating Tet.
"It's not like before, comedy scripts, even if they're only 20 to 30 minutes long, must be meticulously crafted, and the stories must convey positive messages. In general, comedy groups must have a solid investment, unlike the days when they just talked nonsense" - People's Artist Ngoc Giau said.
Comedy game show boom
2024 is considered by experts to be a year of explosive return of game shows, in which comedy game shows dominate. Meritorious Artist Minh Nhi believes that this will be a fierce competition between comedy groups and if script investment is taken lightly, they will lose out in this competition.

Meritorious Artist Le Thien said that the information that the producer of "The Beautiful Sister Who Walks the Wind and the Waves" bought the copyright to produce "The Brother Who Overcame Thousands of Difficulties" (English name "Call Me by Fire"), which will start in June 2024, surprised the audience.
"There are currently more than 1,000 comments and interactions on the fanpage. That is a positive response. There are many famous male singers such as: Noo Phuoc Thinh, Hoang Hai, Do Hieu, Anh Tu... nominated by the audience for the program. And the list also includes nominations for comedians Xuan Bac, Tu Long, Huy Khanh, Tan Hoang..." - Meritorious Artist Le Thien informed.
Right on the occasion of Tet 2024, the game show "7 spring smiles" with the participation of comedians will be a program worth watching (broadcast from February 11 - the 2nd day of Tet Giap Thin on channel HTV7).

People's Artist Thanh Nam believes that reality TV shows and game shows with comedians are the center of attention. Because, last year, many shows did not invest in scripts, and if they were allowed to freely create comedy, the quality would decrease.
"I think that in 2024, entertainment game shows will have many comedians and comedy groups in Ho Chi Minh City participating. This diversity will help audiences who love laughter have more choices in entertainment" - People's Artist Thanh Nam said.

Comedian My Chi commented that, in addition to investing in scripts and staging, to avoid boring game shows, it is necessary to choose more new elements.
"Today's audience is very smart, they watch and change channels as soon as many shows are broadcast, but the faces of the comedians are too old, just the same familiar faces, while the young actors are growing in number and many of them are very charming. We should create opportunities for them" - comedian My Chi expressed.
Easy laughter on cyberspace
Mr. Ton That Can - Permanent Vice President of the Ho Chi Minh City Theater Association, member of the Arts Council of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Culture and Sports, specializing in reviewing comedy programs - said: "Near the end of the year, we approved a grand music program at the Trong Dong stage, with 4 comedy skits, all four of which had transvestite and homosexual characters. This is something that should be avoided when exploiting too much about comedy characters using their bodies to make people laugh."
Comedians Viet Huong and Hoai Linh
Experts say that in 2024, entertainment television programs and theater venues that want to survive need to invest systematically in everything from scripts to staging.
The HCM City Department of Culture and Sports and the HCM City Theatre Association need to organize the acceptance of comedy scripts before the groups stage them. The outline of each skit must be evaluated, commented on, and edited before being approved for review and performed in public.
People's Artist Tran Minh Ngoc affirmed that sketches of comedy groups, even with famous stars, but with poor quality will gradually be eliminated. 2024 will be a competition between comedians and comedy groups. "The important thing is that the sketches need to be seriously staged and close to life with stories of humanistic meaning. Comedians need to be aware of their responsibility to create laughter that has a great influence on the audience, especially the young" - People's Artist Tran Minh Ngoc emphasized.
Comedian Kieu Mai Ly believes that laughter on the internet today also needs to be monitored because too many vulgar things appear.
"Currently, cyberspace exploits easy laughter, comedians are constantly chasing cheap tricks in game shows, and speaking without restraint... these are issues that need to be paid attention to by managers" - artist Kieu Mai Ly expressed her opinion.
