Afdlin Shauki is a man of many talent: writer, director, stage and screen actor, singer, television producer and presenter are among the many things within his capabilities. He is well known for his comedic talents and onscreen persona as an actor, director and presenter.
As a stand-up comedian and improvisational comedic actor, Afdlin has performed numerous solo stand up shows on stage and along with an elite team of local stage and screen actors, regularly performs Malaysia's own live stage version of TV's "Whose Line Is It Anyway?", a theatre show entitled "Actorlympics", which has regular showings every year to great response, and is now its own TV show on NTV7.
And as a musician and live performer, Afdlin's onstage persona is always bursting with his own inimitable style and raw energy. Together with his band Acid Iz, Afdlin presents his own flavour of R&B, acid jazz and funk, high on energy and performance power. A highlight of his career was to perform before an audience of 50,000 people at the Merdeka Stadium during the IKHLAS tour of 1992 under the R.A.P. label. He was nominated in the category of Best Male Vocal Performance for his work on the IKHLAS 92 album.
