Douglas Lim

DOUGLAS LIM is synonymous with comedy in Malaysia. His wit and comedic observations and commentary have often been the highlight of movies, television shows, musicals, theatre, events, campaigns and showcases in the country over the last 20 years. His natural ability to bring laughter to people from all walks of life has earned him the moniker of King of Malaysian Comedy.

Douglas made an instant impact as Steven the Stylist on Kopitiam – Malaysia’s most successful English Sitcom which ran for 7 Seasons, garnering numerous awards locally and regionally. This role also had him nominated for Best Actor in a Comedy in the Asian Television Awards.

Since then, he has starred and featured in local movies (Hati Malaya, Los & Faun, Soulmate: Hingga Jannah), TV Shows (Homecoming, In The Groove, Komediri, Lawak Ke Der, Lari Hantu Lari, Gegar Lawak, Spanar Jaya X), musicals (P.Ramlee, Broken Bridges, Cuci, Lat, Supermokh, Ola Bola) and comedy showcases (Kings and Queen of Comedy Asia, Comedy Central’s Stand-up Comedy Asia, Anugerah Lawak Warna).

Douglas stepped into the international circuit in 2017 at the prestigious Melbourne International Comedy Festival (MICF) under Comedy Zone Asia & his very own solo show “This Is Nice” – both of which received high reviews. As a result, MICF produced and re-staged Douglas’ solo show at the 2018 festival. Douglas’ impressive performances also earned him a spot on the esteemed MICF Gala which aired on the ABC.
