The story

FestiLOL Brunei Comedy Festival in Madang Cove

FestiLOL, produced by BruHaha Comedy Productions, is Brunei's first dedicated comedy festival, launched in 2024 and staged over ten days each November into December across two venues, Terkidding's in the Madang area and The Core at Universiti Brunei Darussalam. The program mixes hour-long stand-up specials from established local comics with long-form improv from the Tabak-It Comedy collective, giving the young festival a broad, still-developing identity.

FestiLOL began in October 2024 as Brunei's first dedicated comedy festival, produced by the local outfit BruHaha Comedy Productions after several years of smaller stand-up and improv nights had built an audience for homegrown comedy.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

FestiLOL stands out as the first festival built specifically around Brunei's own comedy scene rather than importing touring acts, giving local stand-up and improv performers a rare festival-scale platform

02

The mystery stays covered

Splitting the ten-day run across two very different venues, a coastal comedy club in Madang and a university auditorium, lets the festival reach both a dedicated late-night comedy crowd and a younger campus audience within the same edition

03

The city starts moving

With more than thirty performers across formats ranging from scripted hour-long specials to fully improvised, audience-driven shows, it captures a wider range of Bruneian comedy than any single stand-up night could, in a scene still young enough that each edition changes shape
