The Greater Atlanta Tamil Sangam (GATS) organized 4-hour hilarious plays by the cine and stage fame Crazy Mohan and his troupe on Oct 30, at Hindu temple of Atlanta auditorium. “Crazy Ghosts” and “Marriage made in Saloon” were the two plays staged one after another with an hour break for dinner.

Crazy Mohan: Qualified to be an engineer, but life lead him to be a comedy king, his unique brand “CRAZY” humor has enliven up many and living up to the name “Laughter the best medicine.” He started to write comedy skits for his brother Balaji’s school play. Balaji was a good actor and would scoop up the best actor award on all the plays that he acts. Thus the “Crazy Humor” that started, as a pass time became his profession. His sense of humor attracted many fans and made his entry into the cine field. He has staged his plays more than 4000 and has traveled many countries. He is humble, god fearing and simple person by nature.
Along with “Crazy Mohan,” his brother 'Maadhu' Balaji plays lead roles in the plays. All his dramas have done a lot for comedy. Crazy troupe uses the tagline “Take things easy, here is Crazy.”
This is one other best event organized by GATS and Mr. Arasu; the present GATS president’s participation in the play surprised many.

Crazy Ghosts:
How can a Ghost marry a living person, is all about in “Crazy Ghost” the play that went through unimaginable situations? The auditorium was roaring with laughter all through the two hours of this play.

Marriage Made in Saloon:
This is one of the best creations of “Crazy Mohan,” Director Shri. K. Balachander transformed this drama in his film “Poikkal Kudhirai.” Marriage made in saloon is a non-stop humorous play.
This is a story of the travails of an innocent youngster Madhu, who is craving to get married. His friends, including a barber, assist him in this task.
I’m sure the audiences were aware and had come prepared for the caution note that GATS had issued, that they are not responsible for any stomachache caused by the nonstop comedy. Well, will the health care take care of such an issue?
