After a successful debut, JB Laugh Lounge is back, louder, sharper, and ready to roast. Organised by Coaction Events, the series returns with a fresh format and a bold goal – to put Johor on the map for stand-up comedy.
This year, JBLL raises the stakes with two of Malaysia’s top comedy acts. First up, Papi Zak, a 16-year industry veteran known for his larger-than-life personality, razor-sharp wit, and cult TV hit The Halal Foodie. Joining him is Netflix favourite Kavin Jay, the internationally toured grump with a mic, whose deadpan humour and brutally honest observations have earned him fans from Melbourne to Edinburgh.
To sweeten the deal, ticket holders get more than just laughs. Enjoy 15% off lunch at Selasih Café in Persada Johor, and an exclusive deluxe stay rate at Fives Hotel Meldrum — just RM170 nett for a night (usual price RM250). It’s the perfect excuse to turn comedy night into a full-on weekend plan.
JB Laugh Lounge takes place on 17th May 2025 at 8:30 pm, Persada Johor International Convention Centre. Tickets are priced from RM60 and selling fast at LOL Asia.
As anticipation builds for Visit Johor 2026, JB Laugh Lounge serves as a prelude to the wave of exciting cultural and entertainment experiences headed to the South. It’s a signal that Johor is stepping into the spotlight, not just for food and shopping, but as a serious hub for live entertainment, nightlife, and creative experiences that reflect Malaysia’s evolving cultural landscape. If this is just the beginning, 2026 is going to be unmissable.
Don’t miss the show that’s building a real comedy culture in the South. Get roasted, laugh loud, and support local.
