Malaysia, get ready for a wave of laughter this October as legendary comedian Kumar brings his latest show, Beats, Rhymes & Punchlines, to four cities across the country.

The renowned stand-up performer, known for his razor-sharp wit and larger-than-life stage presence, will perform in Penang, Kuala Lumpur, Kota Kinabalu, and Johor Bahru, promising audiences a night of comedy, nostalgia, and musical fun.

Having already delivered sold-out performances earlier this year in Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, and Thailand, Kumar’s new show is a nostalgic throwback with a modern twist.

Beats, Rhymes & Punchlines blends stand-up, music, and commentary, offering both hilarious observations on daily life and thoughtful insights into generational quirks. Whether you’re a Gen Xer ready to relive the grit of the ’80s and ’90s or a Gen Z-er looking to connect with the past, this show promises something for everyone.

In Beats, Rhymes & Punchlines, Kumar uses his trademark style to school today’s younger generation with a blend of humour, wisdom, and a few good-natured jabs about how things have changed.

Expect cultural clashes, hilarious generational debates, and plenty of memories to be made!

Speaking about the new show, Kumar says, “This is my love letter to the ’80s and ’90s, but it’s also a way to bridge the gap between generations.

“We’ll be taking a trip down memory lane, but we’re also finding humour in how much life has shifted since then. It’s all about connecting, laughing, and learning – together.”

Kumar’s performances have garnered global acclaim, with over 50,000 tickets sold worldwide during his last tour, Kumarsutra: Greatest Hits.

Known for his fearless approach to taboo topics and his ability to find hilarity in the everyday, Kumar continues to prove why he’s one of Asia’s most beloved and respected comedians.
