After releasing the film SINGLE 2 in 2019, five years ago, Raditya once again entertains his audience with his latest series titled KOMEDI KACAU which will have 10 episodes. This will be his second directed series after releasing the series MALAM MINGGU MIKO which was 12 years ago. Previously, he published his series on his YouTube account, but this time Raditya Dika collaborated with Netflix and Soraya Intercine Films for its airing.
"This (KOMEDI KACAU) will be aired on February 16th only on Netflix, and there will be dozens of comedians involved. This is a stand-up comedy series, so the story is about the stand-up comedy club," said Raditya Dika on January 17, 2024, during a press conference at the Soraya Intercine Films Office in Menteng, Central Jakarta.
Through this work, Raditya Dika wants to present his creation to the audience about the lives of comedians, especially behind the scenes. In this series, Raditya Dika wants to reveal that the life of a comedian is when they perform live on stage. Comedy clubs are a place for them to practice regularly in a suitable place. In addition, Raditya Dika feels that this topic is rarely addressed in series or films in Indonesia.

This chaotic comedy series tells the story of Panca, played by Raditya Dika, who is going through a difficult time in his life. Panca loses his job and decides to allocate all his savings to invest in a comedy cafe. However, his hope that this investment will change his life for the better does not go well.
The Comedy Cafe is increasingly going bankrupt. But he remains convinced that his decision will bear the success he dreams of. Even though he made this highly risky decision when his family's finances are unstable. Meanwhile, his wife named Loli is used to living a luxurious life and is not prepared for the cafe to fail and face poverty.
"During the writing process, the topics that I poured into the script came from various personal concerns. One of the things explored in Chaotic Comedy is the dynamics of marriage and its various challenges, but presented in a comedic way," said Raditya Dika in a written statement on February 12, 2024.
Panca's efforts to transform the Comedy Cafe into a success are met with many challenges and pressures from his wife and the surrounding environment.
