Lucas: Why I Hate Human?

Malaysian Chinese comedian Lucas presents a fearless 70‑minute special dissecting modern life: politics, privacy, war, relationships and our hidden biases, with sharp wit and tender humanity. Expect provocative insights, big laughs and audience reflection. Strict late‑entry, no recording, and content confidentiality apply.

Lucas: Why I Hate Human? — Save the Fish First if Someone Falls into the River is not a speech or a summit; it’s a comedian’s ultimate human‑observation report. Malaysian Chinese stand‑up Lucas tackles the contradictions of contemporary life with bold satire and unexpected empathy, questioning why wars are labelled “just”, how power and influence distort public conversation, why institutions preach “safety” yet neglect privacy, and whether personal relationship dramas can be harder to mend than global disputes. Beneath the punchlines sits a candid look at the biases we all carry.

With over 10,000 attendees across tours and a 4.8‑star rating on overseas comedy platforms, Lucas returns with his most sincere special yet, en route to a milestone 5,000‑seat arena show in the Klang Valley. This is a tender, hilarious indictment for anyone who has queued behind a line‑cutter, paid too much for a mediocre meal, or doom‑scrolled news that made you question everything.
