Still Up, Still Coming

Seventeen years ago, six young gentlemen took the road less taken (as well as less approved by their Asian parents) to become Kuala Lumpur’s best up-and-coming stand-up comedians. Seventeen years later, these six former up-and-coming stand-up comedians - **Kavin Jay**, **Kuah Jenhan**, **Andrew Netto**, **Phoon Chi Ho**, **Rizal van Geyzel** and **Papi Zak** - are STILL UP, STILL COMING and still on top of their game. This time, they are bringing their freshest jokes to Malaysia’s favourite island city—PENANG! Between them, this ragtag force of funny men had accumulated multiple credits for sold-out shows, TV shows, commercials, and one Netflix special in 17 years. At the same time, they’ve inspired a new wave of stand-up comedians from humble beginnings to a viable comedy community that is currently a hundred strong, taking over (almost) every show on the KL comedy roster. Kavin, Jenhan, Andrew, Chi Ho, Rizal and a new addition, their old friend Papi Zak, will be bringing laughs to Loft 29, Gat Lebuh Gereja, on 12 and 13 May, before making short stops at Singapore’s The Ngee Ann Kongsi Theatre on 22 July and Petaling Jaya’s PJ Live Arts on 13 and 14 October!

 **Andrew Netto** is a household name in the Malaysian circuit having considerable success in the local and international comedy scene. Taken under the wing of his mentor Harith Iskander in 2009, he has grown leaps and bounds since his beginnings as a 19-year-old college student. His highlights are performances with comedian Ahmed Ahmed and Maz Jobrani in 2011, and mega comedian Russell Peters in 2012 in front of an audience of 8,000.  **Kavin Jay** is one of South East Asia's most sought-after comedians. An integral part of the comedy revolution in Malaysia, he's a rapid-fire, grumpy, joke-telling machine. His intense sense of humour has tickled ribs and charmed audiences around the world following the release of his critically-acclaimed Netflix special, Everybody Calm Down! in 2018.  **Kuah Jenhan** has been nominated for numerous awards, including Best Comedy Show at the Perth Fringe World 2016 and has sold out shows in Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, and Hong Kong. Now, he has sold himself out as a Creative Content Director at The Chariot Agency, where in just one year of working, he has won numerous awards (for advertising, still none for comedy). He still doesn't know what he's doing.  **Phoon Chi Ho** is an actor, screenwriter, a show producer with his company Laugh Labs Entertainment Sdn Bhd, but he is most recognised as one of the region’s top stand-up comedians. In 2021, not only did he bag the 1st Runner-Up prize for Astro’s Gelak Gempak, he was also the only contestant with a perfect score. The same year, he co-wrote 3 TV series - Astro’s Take Ctrl, WeTV’s My Ofis, and TV Sarawak’s Belon Angkasa - plus one short biodata of himself.  **Rizal van Geyzel** is known for his comedic presence that lands between the profound and the absurd. He injects an honest form of humour into building the grassroots of stand-up comedy in Malaysia. He is also a common name among international show bookers, having appeared on Comedy Central’s Stand Up, Asia!, Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2017 and more recently, The Kings and Queens of Comedy Asia 2022 in Singapore.  **Papi Zak** is Malaysia's “biggest” stand-up comedian, known for his goofy humour and comedic roles on TV. He has gained popularity in the country for his unique style of comedy, often incorporating quirky characters and relatable experiences in his shows. One of his notable roles was being the face of the national snack brand Mister Potato and hosting a variety show called The Halal Foodie, which garnered widespread recognition.
