October 27, 2025: The Colombo Comedy Show 2025, presented by Carmart and organized by the Colombo Taprobane Round Table 3 (CTRT3), returns for its 10th Anniversary Edition — a celebration of world-class humor, global talent, and a shared mission to make a difference. The laughter begins at 7:00 PM on Wednesday, 12th November 2025, at Monarch Imperial, Kotte.
This milestone marks a decade of bringing some of the best international comedians to Sri Lankan audiences, and this year’s show promises to be the biggest one yet. The 2025 edition features a powerhouse international lineup of five acclaimed comedians from across the globe. Umar Rana from Pakistan, founder of Comedy Masala Singapore and a veteran performer with two decades of experience, brings sharp wit and unmatched timing to the stage. Kavin Jay from Malaysia, known for his Netflix special “Everybody Calm Down!”, captivates audiences with his relatable humor and observational storytelling.
Rizal van Geyzel, also from Malaysia, delivers high-energy performances infused with comedic takes on everyday chaos and cultural quirks. April Macie from the USA, a global headliner and finalist on NBC’s Last Comic Standing, lights up the stage with bold humor and charisma. Completing the lineup is Azeem Banatwalla from India, whose razor-edged insights and commentary on modern life have made him one of India’s most celebrated stand-ups. Together, they promise an unforgettable evening that unites audiences through laughter, offering a dynamic mix of humor styles, personalities, and perspectives.
As with every year, the Colombo Comedy Show remains rooted in purpose. Proceeds from the event will go towards the Kids Off Streets (KOS) charity project, a long-running initiative by CTRT3 that empowers underprivileged children through education, rehabilitation, and community care. Over the past decade, this event has not only brought joy to audiences but also created meaningful social impact across Sri Lanka.
Reflecting on the journey, CTRT3 Chairman Rukshan Periyapperuma said, “Each year, the Colombo Comedy Show brings together laughter, unity, and purpose. Celebrating 10 years, we’re proud of how far we’ve come, from our very first sold-out night to becoming one of Sri Lanka’s most anticipated entertainment events. Beyond the humor, this show helps us create lasting change through Kids Off Streets and other community programs.”
The Colombo Comedy Show 2025 will take place on Wednesday, 12th November at 7:00 PM at Monarch Imperial, Kotte, with tickets now available via CTRT3.myshopbox.lk and PickMe Events.
