Comedy Chaos
What's the Story?
When Indonesian businessman Panca gets kicked out of the company he founded, COMEDY CHAOS ensues. Panca (Raditya Dika) rebounds by investing in a friend's run-down, debt-laden comedy club. The financial uncertainty of starting over tests his resilience . . . and his marriage.
Is It Any Good?
Despite a decent premise and a congenial performance by Raditya Diya (who also writes and directs), the series feels like a vague impression of a generic 1980s sitcom. Comedy Chaos has well-worn material that wouldn't seem out of place alongside jokes about in-laws or airline food.
