Get ready to laugh until your sides ache and dance the night away! LOL Asia is pulling out all the stops to celebrate its monumental 15th anniversary with ‘The Big LOL Show’.

Expect a star-studded celebration packed with comedy, music, and electrifying performances that’ll leave you buzzing with joy.

An unmissable line-up of comedy and entertainment legends

Headlining this anniversary extravaganza is none other than the iconic comedy sensation Kumar, known for their sharp wit and magnetic stage presence.

Joining Kumar are Malaysia’s finest comedic talents, including the bold and hilarious Joanne Kam Poh Poh, the charming storyteller Prakash Daniel, Brian Tan’s razor-sharp wit, and the ever-entertaining Farid Azmeir.

But it’s not just about comedy! Adding a musical touch to the celebration, rising stars Saint Kylo and Claudia Tan will deliver electrifying performances. At the same time, the phenomenal Mast Millennium Dancer troupe brings the house down with Broadway-inspired dance numbers.

And if that’s not enough, a mystery guest performer is set to make a jaw-dropping surprise appearance, ensuring this show is one for the history books.

A celebration of 15 years of laughter and connection

This milestone is a testament to the unwavering support of LOL Asia’s fans, who have been the heartbeat of this trailblazing platform since its inception in 2009.

Over the years, the company has carved its legacy by curating over 350 talents from across the globe, touring 23 cities in Asia and Australia, and selling more than 500,000 tickets.

Speaking with JUICE, LOL Asia CEO Rizal Kamal said that the company’s journey has been incredible, and every show has been meaningful.

“If I had to pick a few highlights, I’d start with our first big show, Kings and Queen of Comedy Asia. It featured iconic talents like Kumar, Harith Iskander, Douglas Lim, Hung Le, and Vir Das, and at the time, it was Malaysia’s biggest stand-up show with 2,900 attendees.

“Over the years, we’ve hosted dozens of international comedians, teamed up with nearly every local comic, produced multiple TV comedy shows, and now we’re putting on concerts too! Working with legends like Hujan, Search, Ella, Yuna, and Korean stars like Ailee and Bang Yedam has been a dream. We’ve done a lot, and we’re only just getting started!” he said.

Rizal added that LOL Asia is currently developing new show concepts, such as a music festival that might incorporate AI.

“LOL Asia is all about bringing entertainment across Asia, and we’re pushing that vision forward. This past year, we’ve done shows in 23 cities spanning Asia and Australia.

“We’re also working on new show concepts, like a music festival that incorporates AI and technology and unique comedy show IPs. We want to make sure that LOL Asia is not just present but thriving in every major market in Asia,” he said.
