Papi & Grumpy at TJF (August 9-10)
The Joke Factory’s first double headliner is double-headed by Malaysia’s Biggest Comedian Papi Zak, and as seen on Netflix, Kavin Jay. Papi Zak has firmly established himself as one of the golden boys on the Malaysian comedy circuit and he just so happens to be the “biggest” Malaysia has to offer. He’s been writing, performing and doing stand-up comedy for over 12 years and continues to bring his quirky brand of humour and witty observations on the absurdities of every-day life to all these performances. With his deep baritone voice and laid-back charm, Papi Zak’s comedy stylings are sure to tickle your funny bone!
Tonight Zak will be accompanied by Netflix’s very own: Kavin Jay! Well-known in the local comedy scene as the grumpiest comedian to ever take the stage, Kavin has honed his craft for over a decade with his intense style and sharp crowd work. Having performed all over the world in places like Melbourne, Edinburgh, Los Angeles, and even Zimbabwe, it’s a special treat to have him perform his well-tested material for an audience right here at The Joke Factory together with Papi Zak!
