After captivating audiences across Australia, Malaysia’s “bearded funny man,” Prakash Daniel, brings his highly anticipated solo show, “Lobster Boy”, back home.
Presented by LOL Asia, this multi-city Malaysian tour delivers the same signature blend of street-smart humour, 90s nostalgia, and heartwarming storytelling that resonated with international audiences.
Following a successful run in Melbourne, Sydney, and Perth in April & May 2025, “Lobster Boy” returns to Malaysia offering local comedy lovers a fresh, hilarious, and deeply personal perspective from one of the nation’s most dynamic entertainers.
Inspired by his upbringing in the vibrant, sometimes chaotic, neighbourhood of Jalan Udang Galah (Lobster Street) in Segambut, Kuala Lumpur, “Lobster Boy” is Prakash’s most intimate and side-splitting show to date. It delves into his childhood as a Malaysian Indian growing up in a lower middle-class family, his journey of self-acceptance and friendship, trauma and healing, taking audiences on a laugh-out-loud trip down memory lane.
“Growing up in the 90s was wild, weird, and wonderful. We didn’t have the internet, but we had pirated VHS tapes, hand-me-down sneakers, and neighbourhood drama that could rival any reality show,” says Prakash Daniel. “Lobster Boy” is my love letter to those days and to everyone who’s ever felt like they didn’t quite fit in.”
Prakash’s comedy is rooted in real-life Malaysian experiences – from peculiar encounters at mamak stalls to the universal struggles of Malaysian weddings and family expectations. The classic `black sheep,’ Prakash masterfully turns everyday moments into comedic gold, delivering sharp, soulful, and universally relatable observations.
Don’t miss the chance to experience Prakash Daniel’s “Lobster Boy” LIVE as he brings his acclaimed international show back home.
