Singaporean stand-up comic Deepak Chandran finds success on Netflix

SINGAPORE – Deepak Chandran never dreamed he would become a stand-up comedian, let alone have his comedy show Deepak Chandran: Technically Funny streamed on Netflix Singapore.

The 65-minute stand-up show, released on April 18, earned the 10th spot on Netflix’s Top 10 Shows In Singapore list a week after its premiere.

Deepak Chandran: Technically Funny was recorded from the 40-year-old comedian’s sell-out show at KC Arts Centre in River Valley on June 28 and 29 in 2024. The show celebrated everyday life in Singapore, from the quirks of taxi uncles to the pride Singaporeans take in Changi Airport, offering a heartfelt and humorous take on local culture.
