Justin Heyes – United Kingdom

Justin Heyes is arguably one of the UK’s most lovable comedy exports. A storyteller at heart, his honest reflections of his own experiences never fail to entertain a diverse array of audiences.


He has appeared on Malaysian television in the film ‘Cinta Di Gerai’, and sitcom ‘Cakap Melayulah’, and was the first English comic to perform stand up in Bahasa Melayu on Malaysian television when he appeared twice on ‘Komediri’.


Luwita Hana Randhawa – Malaysia (KL)

Ever since bagging the Best Female Youth Newcomer Award at the 2012 Short+Sweet Malaysia Stand Up Comedy Festival, Luwita Hana Randhawa has made a name for herself in the local comedy scene for her acerbic and understated wit. She is a regular performer at comedy shows throughout KL. She has also performed at shows in Singapore, Cambodia, Hong Kong, London and New York and performed her first solo show, Nothing to be Done, at the 2014 New Zealand Fringe Festival. Luwita was included in the CLEO HotShots 2016 list, a sign of more things to come for this up and coming comic.


Dan Tackage – Australia

Dan Tackage has performed in Singapore, Japan, the Philippines, Thailand, Thailand, Vietnam and Australia. He has also performed at the Crackhouse Comedy Festival and LOLFest in Malaysia. Despite having a fear of flying, only being able to speak English (barely) and being incredibly introverted, Dan's work forces him to mingle with all kinds of people from South East Asia, even those annoying expats. This frequent travel leads to a steady number of misadventures which Dan shares with his audiences, although he sees it more as therapy. So come along and laugh at the misfortunate adventures of Dan Tackage.


Yuichiro Kinjo - Japan

Kinjo is a comedy giant in his own right. Since starting his comedy career in Japan in 2010, he has shot to fame making appearances on both television and radio, while touring the country.
In 2011, Kinjo won a Japanese comedy award and in 2015 his company (the largest comedy and entertainment agency in Japan) began to expand sending its biggest stars around the world, flying Kinjo out to Malaysia to perform here.

A true performer Kinjo has entertained audiences in KL performing in English and Malay, and has demonstrated his musical and magical talents as well. Kinjo loves Malaysia.


Shahrizan Ferouz – Malaysia (Sabah)

Shaz has travelled all the way from the far off land of KK Sabah. Since arriving in KL in 2003 he has been involved in TV and radio and has been doing stand up for 7 years, In 2016 he appeared on 'Komediri' and 'Sembang Teh Tarik'. During his set he will educate you on the basics of Malaysian geography. Lesson 1: Sabah is part of Malaysia. For 'Lesson 2' come and watch him perform!

Aaron Barber - USA

Aaron fled America to Malaysia as a refugee following Trumps election victory. He figured the two counties flags are almost identical so it seemed like the logical destination for a new home. The big Texan will be making his debut for United Nations of comedy. He is a regular performer on the open mic comedy circuit in Kuala Lumpur.
