Homegrown Malaysian Comedy Icon Prakash Daniel Brings Internationally Acclaimed 'Lobster Boy' Home After Sold-Out Australia Tour

The multi-city tour hits Penang (Aug 2), Johor Bahru (Aug 9), Kota Kinabalu (Aug

16), Kuala Lumpur (Aug 23) and Kuching (Aug 30)

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – July 2025 – After captivating audiences across Australia,

Malaysia’s very own "bearded funny man," Prakash Daniel, is set to bring his highly anticipated solo show, ‘Lobster Boy,’ back to his home turf. Presented by LOL Asia, this multi-city Malaysian tour promises to deliver the same signature blend of street-smart humour, 90s nostalgia, and heartwarming storytelling that has resonated with international audiences.

Following a wildly successful run in Melbourne, Sydney, and Perth in April and May 2025, 'Lobster Boy' returns to Malaysia to offer local comedy lovers a fresh, hilarious, and deeply personal perspective from one of the nation's most dynamic entertainers.

Inspired by his upbringing in the vibrant, sometimes chaotic, neighbourhood of Jalan Udang Galah

(Lobster Street) in Segambut, Kuala Lumpur, 'Lobster Boy' is Prakash’s most intimate and side-

splitting show to date. It delves into his childhood as a Malaysian Indian growing up in a lower middle-

class family, and his journey of self-acceptance and friendship, trauma and healing, taking audiences

on a laugh-out-loud trip down memory lane.

"Growing up in the 90s was wild, weird, and wonderful. We didn't have the internet, but we had

pirated VHS tapes, hand-me-down sneakers, and neighbourhood drama that could rival any reality

show," says Prakash Daniel. 'Lobster Boy' is my love letter to those days and to everyone who's

ever felt like they didn't quite fit in."

Prakash's comedy is deeply rooted in real-life Malaysian experiences – from peculiar encounters at mamak stalls to the universal struggles of Malaysian weddings, family expectations and 

disappointments. The classic `black sheep,’ Prakash masterfully turns these everyday moments into comedic gold, delivering sharp, soulful, and universally relatable observations, sometimes at self- deprecating innuendos too.

More Than Just a Comedian – A Cultural Tastemaker

Beyond the mic, Prakash Daniel is a multi-dimensional artist. A visual storyteller, street fashion enthusiast, and devoted sneakerhead, he blends art, street style, and humour into everything he does.

His ability to find joy and laughter in life's absurdities, even in the toughest moments, makes his comedy profoundly human and connects with audiences on a deeper level.Rizal Kamal, CEO of LOL Asia, expresses immense pride in Prakash’s talent and success at international achievements: "For years, we have worked tirelessly to build a thriving comedy scene in Malaysia and Southeast Asia. It's truly gratifying to see our homegrown talents like Prakash take their place on the global stage. Malaysian comedians are more than just entertainers; they are cultural ambassadors, breaking barriers and proving that Malaysian humour resonates far and wide. It’s time we acknowledge them not just as talented individuals, but as national icons who put Malaysia on the world comedy map."

Don’t miss the chance to experience Prakash Daniel’s 'Lobster Boy' LIVE as he brings his

acclaimed international show back home.
