Comedy in Cambodia

Comedy in Cambodia was founded in Phnom Penh in 2011 and developed a programme centred on its Stand Up: Unscripted format, which used audience suggestions to drive improvised performance. The company operated in a city with a significant international expatriate population and built a following through its weekly performance structure. Comedy in Cambodia remained active through 2025, making it one of the longer-running comedy organisations in mainland Southeast Asia outside the Thai and Vietnamese markets.

Comedy in Cambodia centres its performance identity on the Stand Up: Unscripted format, using audience suggestions as the generative engine for weekly improvised comedy.
