Asia’s top female comedians share the stage on 'Queens of Asia'

WHAT happens when you bring together four sassiest, enormously talented, most outspoken, larger than life, spicy, adorable and wackiest female comedians on one stage? It’s a full power 'Pompuan' night of female empowerment.

This March, some of Asia's most popular female comedians are marching in with style, confidence and big laughs to celebrate the true essence of female empowerment and artistic  emancipation. 

Presented by LOL Asia and Kam Productions, `Queens of Asia’ will showcase four iconic female comedians coming together representing power and empowerment over two nights – March 17 and 18 at The Platform, Menara Ken TTDI, Kuala Lumpur. 

Featuring a line-up of South East Asia’s comic superstars with Singapore's No 1 female comedian, Sharul Channa; Youtube sensation with over 33 million views, Yumi Nagashima from Japan; a comic with both North and South Korea heritage, Simmone Park; and local Queen of Comedy, Joanne Kam; the 'Queens of Asia' guarantee to give their fans a night of side-splitting laughs.

Yumi Nagashima – a Tokyo-born actress, writer, and international comedian with an unforgettable allure. If you haven’t seen her viral videos on social media or YouTube, you might recognise her from her many TV appearances on Montreal’s Just For Laughs, Winnipeg Comedy  Festival, CBC Gem – New Wave of Stand up, Comedy Central Asia, or, the Jakarta International  Comedy Festival. Releasing her debut stand-up comedy album, My Name is Yumi in 2019, her fandom has only grown since. 

Sharul Channa – formally trained in theatre from Lasalle, College of the Arts, Channa has been a full-time stand-up comedian for the last 13 years, performing to packed houses all over Asia and Australia. Over the past few years, Channa has used comedy to shed light on important, and sometimes neglected, social issues in Singapore. She has created and starred in many works like Crazy Poor Sita and Am I Old? earning her critical acclaim from the likes of The Straits Times.  

Second City trained, Simmone Park has performed stand-up comedy in ten countries, and has headlined the iconic Blue Note Hawaii, opened for Chris Redd of Saturday Night Live, shared a stage with Jerry Seinfeld and Jim Gaffigan at Gotham Comedy Club in NYC, MC’d and performed comedy at the 34th Annual Miss Asian Global Pageant in San Francisco (the longest running Asian cultural pageant in the world), and performed a comedy set in Costa Rica entirely in Spanish, a language she has never learned. 

Malaysia’s own Queen of Comedy, Joanne Kam has had an amazing career in entertainment over the last 30 years. Bursting into the industry with stellar determination to carve her own niche in the nightlife category with her own brand of acerbic wit, astute content and female  experiences as a new-age comedy star since the 90s, Joanne’s mercuric rise to fame and fandom has seen her holding court at Boom Boom Room cabarets, producing and performing in hits such as Romantic Fools, Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew and Kam, In Your Face, extending her  repertoire to radio with gigs at Mix FM, Capital FM, RED FM, and AFO Radio. 

Urging her fans to come out in a full house, comedian Joanne Kam enthusiastically shares, “We will show the boys how we women do it in comedy. This is a show that guarantees the best anyone has ever seen in an all-female comedy cast.”
