Comedy legend Kumar is set to perform his brand-new international show, “Beats, Rhymes & Punchlines” in Malaysia across four states – Penang, Kuala Lumpur, Kota Kinabalu and Johor Bahru.

The brand-new show is a retro riot that’s part stand-up, part musical, and all heart. Sprinkled generously with throwback vibes, timeless laughs, and a crash course in generational wisdom, Kumar is back bolder and brash, channelling the unapologetic vibes of the 80s and 90s to school the Gen Z crowd on the grit and grind of yesteryear with a side of Gen X wisdom, and a sprinkle of Boomer spice.

The tour schedule is as follows:

• 5 October – The Light Hotel, Penang @8.30pm
• 12 October – Mega Star Arena, Kuala Lumpur @8.30pm
• 19 October – Le Meridien Hotel, Kota Kinabalu @8.00pm
• 25 October – Renaissance Hotel, Johor @8.30pm

Said Kumar, “Beats, Rhymes & Punchlines is my love letter to the 80s and 90s, but it’s also a wake-up call for today’s generation. We’re taking a trip down memory lane, but we’re not just reminiscing – we’re connecting the dots between then and now, and laughing at all the madness in between. It’s time to school the young ones and remind the older ones how we got here – with a lot of humour, some great music, and maybe a few hard knocks along the way.”

Tickets will be on sale 7 September at 12 PM through lolasia.bigtix.io.

Looks like this particular doctor takes the old adage ‘laughter is the best medicine’ very seriously. It’s none other than Malaysia’s very own Dr. Jason Leong, who will be prescribing a big dose of laughter on his Netflix special, “Dr. Jason Leong: Hashtag Blessed”.

The upcoming show marks the third comedy stand-up special on Netflix to hail from Malaysia and, as the title entails, will feature the eponymous doctor who is also the first ever Malaysian to win the 7th Annual International Hong Kong Comedy Festival.

“I’m excited to be on Netflix. Now the world can see how good I am at stand-up comedy. And also my humility. When it comes to being humble, I am the best. And also comedy. Yes.” said the undeniably humble Dr. Jason Leong regarding his show.

The doctor is said to have quit his job in medicine to “tackle business class show-offs, traditional healers and other insufferable creatures”. Through the Netflix special, he will be giving international viewers a taste of the comedic scene in Malaysia.

Get ready to laugh out loud when “Dr. Jason Leong: Hashtag Blessed” is released on Netflix in 190 countries next month.

The first show will feature Malaysian veteran stand-up comic Phoon Chi Ho, who will be the first of the 12 monthly acts that will be cracking jokes at PJ Live Arts Theatre throughout the year.

Here are the first three acts of “Late Night Laughs”!
