LIKE THIS, LIKE DAD (STILL)

“Be prepared to LOL with abandon” ★★★★½ The Music

"You don’t have to be Asian to understand and appreciate Jenhan’s comedy. You just need to love the art of storytelling" ★★★★★ LILITHIA REVIEWS 2024

If everyone goes to your show, who’s gonna feed the dog? – Jenhan’s dad

His dad said that in 2009 - and it still stings. Malaysia’s Kuah Jenhan, now terminally adult, fires back with a complete reimagining of LIKE THIS, LIKE DAD, 10 years after the acclaimed show's FRINGE WORLD Best Comedy Award nominated premiere.

A nostalgia-ridden, daddy-issues-laden, trauma-driven one-man comedy show; expect sharp laughs, deep introspection, and emotions no man should be this comfortable sharing live on stage!

If you missed (or loved) the original, this is another Jenhan "cracker of a show" ★★★★ Herald Sun
