The Kuala Lumpur International Comedy Festival

The Kuala Lumpur International Comedy Festival (KLICFest) is set to become Asia’s BIGGEST annual comedy event. Over eight consecutive days this coming September, over 60 of the world’s funniest comedians from 14 different countries take to five stages across Kuala Lumpur to entertain an audience of more than 20,000 people.

Comedy Festivals such as the Edinburgh Fringe, Montreal’s ‘Just For Laughs’ and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival have long been a staple of must-go-to comedy events around the world but there has never been one to feed the growing appetite of comedy in Asia … until now!

The Festival program - curated by Festival Directors Dr Jezamine Lim and the acknowledged ‘Godfather’ of Stand Up Comedy in Malaysia, Harith Iskander - features performances from not only the biggest acts from Malaysia and the region (Singapore, Korea, Indonesia, India, Hong Kong, Philippines) but also the best international stars and the most promising emerging talent.
