IFLIX PREMIERES FOUR RACY ORIGINAL COMEDY SPECIALS IN SECOND SEASON OF OI! JAGA MULUT

Latest from Iflix

KUALA LUMPUR – March 6, 2019 – iflix is dialling up the funny with four racy new stand-up comedy specials in the latest season of Oi! Jaga Mulut, every Thursday, from March 7, exclusively on iflixFREE and iflixVIP.

Leaving the traditional variety show format behind, local comedy heavy-weights Rayza Mukmin, Farid Azmeir, JD and Nizam Jentik Jentik headline riveting and risqué solo sets not intended for the faint of heart.

­Comedy club regular, JD, delivers hilarious observations of popular Malaysian celebrities, and holds nothing back in his accounts of his shocking personal life. Newcomer Farid Azmeir takes the stage with his guitar to tickle the funny bone and laugh at life’s absurdities, including the antics of his blind father. Funnyman Rayza Mukmin proves it’s never too soon to poke fun at Malaysia’s prominent politicians, past and present. And Nizam Jentik Jentik demonstrates his comedic talent with recitals of popular Malaysian business practices, including the use of duit kopi.

Sharing what it truly means to be a modern man in Malaysia, JD, Farid, Rayza and Nizam continue to push boundaries with completely uncensored near-knuckle narratives about customs, cultures, and traditions that make Malaysians truly unique, adding to iflix’s growing library of local-language comedy offerings.

Mark Francis, iflix Global Director of Original Programming, said: “When we made Oi! Jaga Mulut Season 1, we simply did not know if there was enough demand for edgy, local stand-up comedy, so the idea was to introduce audiences through a more familiar variety show style that featured multiple comics performing shorter sets in each episode. Given the hugely positive results however, we decided to showcase four of Malaysia’s most exciting Malay language comics in the way stand-up should be -- raw and uncensored, in solo feature specials for Season 2.”

“Oi! Jaga Mulut Season 2 puts the comic and his material centre stage, marking our commitment to nurture the art of stand-up comedy, even in markets where we do not yet have huge mainstream audiences for it.”
