An American boxer has been living in Japan for 3 years. He lives in the Kansai
area, so he speaks Kansai dialect. He complains that after 3 years in Japan he
still hasn't fought against a really strong opponent, then he says this
sentence:

> ちゃんと強いヒトホンマ相手頼んますわ〰 ほな前座はこれにて――― 閉店ガラガラガラ――

[Here you can see the whole page](https://i.stack.imgur.com/q0E48.jpg). What
is the meaning of the second part of the sentence, in particular 閉店ガラガラガラ? Is
that Kansai-ben too? Thank you for your help!

answer
「ほな前座はこれにて」 → "Well then, that's it for the opening act."

「閉店ガラガラ」 is one of the signature shticks of the comedian
[岡田圭右](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%B2%A1%E7%94%B0%E5%9C%AD%E5%8F%B3), of
the Kansai comedy duo ますだおかだ, typically used at the end of their comedy
sessions. (「閉店」 means the closing of a shop and 「ガラガラ」 is here an onomatopoeia
for the shutter being pulled down.) The extra 「ガラ」 in the manga could be a
precaution against a potential lawsuit.
