“It all started as a dare. I was watching a show called “Comedy Kao Kao’, hosted by Dr Jason Say Keong Leong at The Bee, Publika. One of my friends told me to give stand-up comedy a shot, and even though I didn’t put much thought into it, I got myself a slot for my first stand-up in the next show.
I finally came to a realisation that doing stand-up comedy not just merely for fun or a one-off thing, but more of something that I truly enjoy. Ever since then, I started performing at more and more gigs, until I eventually got paid for doing it.
I’m Sulaiman Azmil. I’ve been working as a lawyer for about 25 years by now. And my message to everyone out there: Pursue your passion, but be realistic about your financial viability at the same time.”
