Southeast Asia's queen of comedy is making her grand return to Malaysia to claim the comedy throne once again

Actor, stand-up artist, television host, and all-round comedian Kumar is set to return to Malaysia next month!

The Singaporean jokester who's known for his gut busting wisecracks and over-the-top sense of humour is set to take the local stage again for the first time since 2019, in his aptly entitled ROWDY KUMAR tour.

Presented by LOL Asia for the local dates, this tour marks the star's first international tour that'll head to Australia, too, after the Asian city lineup

"Kumar takes on our insensible world in the most ruthless style in a brand new comedy special ROWDY KUMAR," wrote LOL Asia on their website. "Kumar's unflinching comedic style will tackle all topics racing on our minds today — epidemics, lockdowns, irrational pop culture, knotty relationships, and more!"

In a post on Instagram, the comedian also expressed his excitement in returning to Kuala Lumpur. "What's up Kuala Lumpur! I'm finally coming back to one of my favourite cities ever with my brand new show. I'm so looking forward to bringing my best to all of you who's been waiting," the caption read.
