UQMSA Brisbane Comedy Festival


Hello everyone!!

Hope things have been great, and that the mid-sem exams are all out of the way already. :) 

On the 21st of March, in conjunction with Brisbane Comedy Festival, our very own comedians Harith Iskander, Douglas Lim and Kuah Jen Han took the stage for a night! Well, everyone loves a good laugh! UQMSA in collaboration with the event’s organiser, The Dirty Work Comedy has managed to secure 51 tickets for our members at a discounted rate. It was held at the Brisbane Powerhouse, New Farm.
 It feels like bringing a bit of Malaysia back to the people here. As we waited, it became clear that 95% of the audience (who were mainly Malaysians) were getting seriously excited about seeing our local legends performing in Australia.


From the very first act, it was clear why. All had a unique style of observational comedy that made everyday occurrences seem silly-funny, yet still a world away from the terrible ‘what’s up with that?’ jokes we tend to associate with general comedic style. Material drew upon culturally specific experiences next to cracks about Malaysians’ behaviours and even a memorable Justin Bieber pork-based parody! :D

All of us had a great time there and even took the opportunity to take their autographs as well as photos with the comedians. The best thing about the whole event is that not only we laughed a lot throughout the show, we also met a lot of new faces and make new friends! :)

UQMSA would like to thank the members for your support and we will continue to arrange more awesome events for you guys in the future! We’ll keep you updated, so stay tuned! More great events coming up! 

See you soon! ;)
