Comedy king and queen attend Spring Festival gala
30/12/2007 12:18

China's reigning comedy duo Zhao Benshan and actress Song Dandan will join hands again at the 2008 Spring Festival Gala on the Lunar New Year Eve holiday on February 6.

The gala's directors hammered out ten comic sketches and cross talks on Friday after five elimination rounds. The duo along with other performers will take part in the celebration rehearsal next month.

Although Zhao was absent from the final evaluation last night, the performance's script was finalized, according to a report in the Oriental Morning Post. Details about the show have not yet been made public.

Zhao and Song are household-name comedians in China. Their performances during the last two New Year's galas were tremendously popular.

Cui Jiandong and Shi Lei are expected to be the black horses of the upcoming gala. Their hand-shadow show, featuring Chinese traditional folk art, won the applause from directors and other performers.
