Stand-up comedian Kumar set to take the stage in KL

THE biggest stand-up comic in Southeast Asia, Kumar will be taking the stage at the brand-new concert hall of Zepp Kuala Lumpur from today until Saturday. 

‘Rowdy Kumar’ has been on a nationwide Malaysian tour in Kuching and Kota Kinabalu and will be closing with a three-night affair in Kuala Lumpur. 

The comedian was last here in 2019, and for his upcoming show, he will be presenting entirely new material. “I have been waiting for this moment for three years,” quips Kumar, the Singaporean-based comedian with a massive fan base in Malaysia. 

“The last time I was here in 2019, right before the global pandemic, we had a ball of a time, and the Malaysian crowd truly came out in full force to support my show. And now, we are here again, for a Malaysian tour of my new show called Rowdy Kumar. 

“I must thank LOL Asia for inviting me again and to include Borneo dates in the schedule. I just performed to a packed audience in Kuching and Kota Kinabalu, and I am back in Kuala Lumpur for a three-night show. Truly the icing on the cake,” he remarked. 

Rizal Kamal, chief executive officer of LOL Asia, and the producer of Rowdy Kumar said, “We are proud to present Rowdy Kumar to all Malaysians. This will be Kumar’s first international show before touring other cities in Asia and Australia. 

“By taking Rowdy Kumar to Kuching and Kota Kinabalu, on top of a three-night affair in Kuala Lumpur, we are giving equal opportunity for all comedy fans in East and West Malaysia to enjoy the best of what this region has to offer.” 

“Kumar is a great role model for everyone, and he has successfully maneuvered his career that made him one of the biggest and most definitely the funniest stand-up comedians in Asia. Come and witness Rowdy Kumar this month and experience it all first-hand,” he said. 

Since the re-opening of the country’s economy, Malaysia is playing host to several major concerts and artists including the likes of Billie Eilish, Sid Sriram, Ilaiyaraaja, Anirudh Ravichander and AR Rahman. 

LOL Asia, the organisers of ‘Rowdy Kumar’, is well-reputed having organised two other major shows to rave reviews, namely, Search’s Konsert Endemik and The Big LOL Show. Rowdy Kumar is a 90-minute comedy show and is suitable for audiences aged 18 and above only.
