Comedians

HEADLINE ACT

Kavin Jay (Malaysia)

As seen on NETFLIX & Comedy Central

He's one of Asia's most sought-after comedians, and is a rapid-fire, grumpy, joke-telling machine. He may be grouchy but does it with a panache that you can’t help but laugh. His intense sense of humor has charmed audiences of all shapes and backgrounds. Kavin Jay is politically incorrect, intense and shows a warped sense of love, life and liver.

Kavin’s most recent show ‘NOBODY ASKED’ is Malaysia’s National Winner for Best Comedy at the 2026 Asian Academy Creative Awards.

His NETFLIX special “EVERYBODY CALM DOWN” was released and was rated Top 10 in The Wrap and IndieWire’s rating of 2018 NETFLIX Specials.
