Deepak Chandran
Deepak Chandran’s rise in the world of stand-up comedy has been nothing short of spectacular; he’s now a regular headliner across both South and Southeast Asia, as well as an established host at Comedy Masala Singapore. Deepak’s comedy is mostly observational, with a twist on politics, issues with middle-class life, and of course, his life as an IT engineer. Deepak has also appeared on LA Comedy Live’s three successful sold-out shows ‘Let’s Joget & Goreng Together’ with headliner Kumar early this year, 05-06 March 2021.

Orion Perez
Dubbed as the ‘Master of Accents’, Orion Perez can skillfully present as Malaysian, Chinese, Singaporean, and other nationalities. “I specialize in joking about languages, accents, and ethnic or racial stereotypes,” he explains. “My aim is to show that people tend to subconsciously judge others based on the accent they use.” An award-winning comedian, he debuted his solo show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland, the United Kingdom in 2014. He was also the winner of the 2014 Magners Singapore International Festival New Act Competition, as well as LA Comedy Live’s “On Stage With Steve-O” Comedian Contest.
