Meet Reggy Hasibuan, Indonesia’s first English-speaking comedian, from a country where most people don’t even understand English.
Third World Comedy is about a man with a big dream in a country with even bigger obstacles. Between constantly being funny, taking care of his family as tradition dictates, enduring systemic discrimination, giving his girlfriend her daily kisses and trying to make ends meet, Reggy is struggling to keep it all together.
He’s received death threats, been kicked off national television for speaking English, and performed to crowds ranging from 3,000 people in Jakarta to just two in Edinburgh.
A comedian, family man, minority, lover and survivor, Reggy has been spectacularly terrible at juggling it all, and loving every second.
