Malaysian Comedy Allstars
Mar 26 - Apr 20 | 8:00pm
Kick's, Elizabeth Street
3 stars of Malaysian stand-up comedy (Kavin Jay, Rizal van Geyzel and Papi Zak) join forces for 1 almighty show! It's more Malaysian than Roti Canai, more Malaysian than hating on Singapore, and more Malaysian than a corrupt politician. Do not miss this show lah!
Rizal van Geyzel: Arrested
Mar 31 - Apr 10 | 9:00pm
Oxford Scholar, Swanston Street
In his highly anticipated new show ‘Arrested’, Rizal tells the infamous story of the Crackhouse Comedy Club in KL, and how he, as the owner, was put in jail for telling jokes about his Islamic heritage. Rizal has years of comedy experience and the skill to make this show REALLY funny.
Papi Zak:
Stand Up Guy
Apr 11 - Apr 13 | 9:00pm
Oxford Scholar, Swanston Street
A well-known face in Malaysia hosting TV shows like ‘The Halal Foodie’ and ‘Happy Endings’, Zak is one of the Golden Boys of Malaysian comedy & he just so happens to be the ‘biggest’ Malaysia has to offer, with his smooth baritone voice, laid-back charm, and hilarious routines.
Kavin Jay:
Unsolicited Advice
Apr 14 - Apr 20 | 9:00pm
Oxford Scholar, Swanston Street
One of the most sought-after comedians in Southeast Asia, Jay is famous for his rapid-fire delivery and hilariously grumpy persona. His comedy is filled with witty insights on his Malay Indian roots, life, love, and the absurdity of existence.
Mick Neven
Here If You Need
Apr 7 - Apr 20 | 8:00pm
The Charles Dickens Hotel
Mick Neven has been performing Stand Up Comedy for 21 years and has learned a thing or two in that time. Always park the car in a handy spot and try to get paid in advance are the two biggest lessons. Surprisingly comedy has taken him all over the world.
