US stand-up comedian Atsuko Okatsuka is currently touring Asia for the first time, and Malaysia is one of her stops on her itinerary!
Bringing her brand new show, Full Grown, the comedian will perform at HGH Convention Centre in Kuala Lumpur on 25 July, 8pm.
The event, organised by LOL Asia, will showcase Atsuko, who utilises her unique upbringing to embody an artfully offbeat, resilient persona, perfectly reflected in her blunt bangs and bowl haircut.
As part of her tour, she made stops in Taipei, Hong Kong, Osaka, Tokyo, Bangkok, and Singapore throughout March.
Atsuko, who's also an actor and writer in Los Angeles, was born in Taiwan and spent her childhood in Japan
Her debut stand-up special, THE INTRUDER, helmed by Tig Notaro and aired on HBO in December 2022, earned critical acclaim. It was hailed as the "Best Debut Special of 2022" by the New York Times and recognised as one of the "Best Specials of 2022" by Vulture and Variety.
Named one of Variety's "10 Comics to Watch" for 2022, she made a memorable late-night debut on THE LATE LATE SHOW WITH JAMES CORDEN, with Vulture declaring her the standout of the night.
Adding to her accolades, she clinched the 2023 Gracie Award for "Best Special" and secured a nomination for "Best Comedian" at the Wowie Awards.
Her unique style and talent has led her to share the screen with renowned actors, including Keanu Reeves, Cameron Diaz, and Laverne Cox in Jonah Hill's dark comedy movie, Outcome.
