Funny Guys
Fans of Asian stand-up comedy take note: Netflix is releasing three specials starring funny men from around the region.
Available to stream now is I Told You So from Harith Iskander (above). In it, the rotund Malaysian comedian tackles everything from family drama to awkward dating experiences, all with his distinctly South-east Asian blend of humour.
Singaporean comedian Fakkah Fuzz's Almost Banned will premiere next on Jan 26, while Iskander's fellow Malaysian stand-up artist Kavin Jay's Everybody Calm Down! will begin streaming from Feb 2.
