You are guaranteed no side effects but you might be seen laughing out loud on your own after watching a clip or reading a note this could make people think you are going looney, Kolo or MAD. 'Obonjo has really shaped intellectual comedy and brought it to a home near you by phone, laptop, blackberry, TV and on stage' (<a href="http://www.comedycv.co.uk)." target="_blank" rel="nofollow">www.comedycv.co.uk).</a>
