DEAW #4 Stand Up Comedy Show

Twenty-eight nights in a Bangkok mall. Netflix kept the tape.

October 1999, MCC Hall at The Mall Bangkapi. Udom Taephanich, Nose to the country, Note on the books, put Deaw 4 on for 1 through 28 October. Thai Wikipedia counts 28 performances. TMDB and Letterboxd log a 1 hour 50 minute comedy dated 1 October 1999, original title เดี่ยว 4, directed by Udom, produced by his company Pordee Panich, with Udom as the only billed body. Netflix's English logline is unhappiness and the trouble it causes. The hall was a shopping-center room, latestnetflix.com maintains, not Royal Paragon. The numbered solo had left the insurance auditorium and the Imperial Ladprao run and moved into retail.,,

He had started the series four years earlier with three shows, 23 to 25 August 1995, at the Muang Thai Life auditorium, on about 400,000 baht of his own money. Deaw 3, Udom the Mechanic, did 22 nights in October 1997. Deaw 4 is the jump to a full month. He wrote the book of the same name as a stage record, the way he had already papered Deaw 1 and Deaw 2. Mango Zero, mining the hours for catchphrases, says this is the one that stuck "kho bork na kho bork" in the country's mouth, a lisp from Yot, a Lao makeup artist Udom put on the mic as a character. Also "ee het sot," fresh mushroom as an insult, and "this is a Buddhist city?" when a comb hits the floor. Those lines sold VCDs. They still travel.,

A fan channel later uploaded the full recording. ThaiStandupComedy's Deaw 4 file runs just over two hours and has a few million views. That is how a 1999 mall stand-up stayed in circulation before the streamer filed it under Thai standup and personal storytelling. Netflix's page still lists Thai audio, English and Thai subs, TV-MA. Plex lists it on Netflix. The catalog date is not a 1999 premiere. It is a later dump of a live document.,,

The later hours made the old tape look polite.

Deaw kept going. Thirteen numbered solos on the Thai Wikipedia table, plus specials. Super Soft Power, a 2024 Netflix hour, is the one that drew a lèse-majesté complaint. Prachatai reported former MP Pareena Kraikupt filing over jokes about the sufficiency-economy idea tied to the late King Bhumibol. Udom said he had been poor as a child and did not need to pretend. Air conditioning and a strong internet connection, no flies. That charge is not Deaw 4. It is the current heat around the man whose 1999 mall month is now sitting in the same app. The fourth hour remains the catchphrase tape from Bangkapi. Twenty-eight nights. One mic. A shopping center that Netflix never rebuilt.,
