0

Comedy Club KL

Stand up comedy is something that we Malaysians, unfortunately, overlook as we are so occupied with our busy lives. The saying ‘don’t bring your work home with you’ is definitely applicable to the average Malaysian as our brains are always consumed with stress which could be to the detriment of our personal lives. It is always advantageous to lean back, relax and laugh sometimes. Going to a comedy club KL is definitely the way to do just that, other than stuffing yourself with desserts or bubble tea!

Comedy Clubs have not been a big thing in Malaysia in the past, thankfully that is changing. With the rise of people like Harith Iskander better known as “ The Godfather of Stand Up Comedy”, more and more of such clubs are opening up!

Therefore when you are down for some relaxation with a hint of laughter after a long day at work, be sure to check out this list of outstanding comedy clubs KL we have compiled. Don’t forget to bring your first aid kit along because these comedy acts will make you die from laughter.

If you have heard of Harith Iskander the name “ The Joke Factory” should not be far behind. After being commonly referred to as the funniest man alive, opening a comedy club KL next should not come as much of a surprise. Located in Publika one of the busiest places at night the joke factory fits right in as it is no stranger to entertainment, excitement and just pure laughs.

Rather than it being like most clubs, The Joke Factory is also a place of education as it offers classes on stand up comedy for upcoming comedians as well as kids that are interested in the field as well. So if you are willing to make your workplace embedded with a bit more humor, do not hesitate to take any of these classes up.

Making S#it Up

The Joke Factory

Making S#it Up is a show that occurs weekly but features different comedians every time and is hosted by Harith Iskander himself. This show is entirely based upon improv and tends to test the creativity and quick-witted nature of the comedians involved.

This show is unscripted but it will sometimes be made around the suggestions of the audience which could include segments and games. This show is to encourage the participation of the audience and to make them feel as included as possible. So if you want to see if these comedians can hold their own without the help of a script and prepared jokes, do not miss this show.

Divas Of Comedy

The Joke Factory

Have you ever heard of Joanne Kam and Bibi Kay Poh? If your answer is no, you are totally missing out. Both being one of the biggest names in South East Asia and having trained in stand up comedy with the legendary Gurmit Singh in Singapore, these two definitely know how to work an audience.

Their material that is derived upon the multiple performances they have done all around the world, tonight’s set will be hard to disappoint. So definitely don’t miss out on this dynamic duo as they are only at the joke factory for 2 fantastic nights.

So while you are having a laugh with your friends and family while watching one of The Joke Factory’s amazing shows, don’t forget to check out their infamous restaurant as well named “Joke and Lok“. They serve all types of western foods but their specialty being “The Balsamic Baller Burger” which is all kinds of tasty. A bite from this burger will leave you desperate for more with its delicious juices and meat that melts in your mouth.

The Joke Factory

To top it off Joke & Lok also has a dessert section as well filled with mouth-watering desserts. If you are a sweet tooth like me, I would definitely recommend having a go at the “ J&L Virgin Bananut Brownies” as they have one of the best brownies I have ever tasted (and I have tasted a lot). However, if brownies aren’t your thing, they also have a selection of ice cream to choose from.

The Joke Factory is a triple threat with its comedy, education, and food. It will be sure to take away your stress from work as well as heighten the mood to ready you for the weekend. Your first trip here will definitely not be your last.
