Laugh your way to free education

Comedian Allan Perera returns for a show from 6th to 11th October (8.30pm) at PJ Live Arts, Jaya One.

The Allan Perera Charity Show is back with more giggles to share. Allan Perera is Malaysia’s much loved comedian, musician, artiste and philanthropist and he will be having a charity show sponsored by Brickfields Asia College (BAC) with all proceeds going to Edunation.

The first half will be a 100-minute musical, A Vinyl Invasion, followed by the second half showcasing Perera’s wicked comedy satire “Malaysia’s Got Scandal”. This unique show features Allan playing many whacky Malaysian-inspired characters such as Elvis Tan, Y.B. Wan Bedek Wan Temberang, Saudara Kam Mun Ting and Guitar Joe.

The ticket prices are as follows:

• Balcony tickets are only RM49.90 for all students (secondary and college)!
• Opening night (Tuesday) tickets can be purchased at BAC PJ Campus and IACT at Jaya One.
• Wednesday–Friday tickets can be purchased at the Box Office at PJ Live Arts, Jaya One itself.

Please note:

College students have to show student ID (1 ID admits one ticket; no multiple purchase allowed for the same ID).

School students may provide their IC and school name.

Perera’s return has given birth to a new initiative called the Giggle Challenge which is a social media driven, awareness and fundraising gig similar to the virulent ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. The idea is to gather as many giggles as possible through social media with every giggle translating to a five (5) cents donation toward Edunation’s efforts to provide free education for all Malaysian school children.

Edunation is a fast-growing and not-for-profit platform supported by Brickfields Asia College  which focuses on developing a freely accessible education system for all. To date, Edunation has produced more than 2,500 learning videos, hundreds of practices and has co-organised syllabus-focused seminars for Form 1 to Form 5 students. “With the vast support we have from both donors and users, we are expecting to double the number of users before the end of the year; from the initial 25,000 to 50,000” said Edmond Yap, the founder of Edunation.

There’s no better way to bring a person more joy than by sharing laughter. Share your laughter for a good cause!
