Jamali Shadat (18 September 1941 – 3 February 2021) was a Malaysian comedian known for his ventriloquism and mimicry which are seen in his roles as Atan and Atok in various stage plays.[1]
His fame began when he was the first runner up of a Bakat TV competition. After his newly found fame, he was invited to record his jokes on gramophones and later on cassettes and CDs.[2] His comedy is known for being able to appeal to people of different racial backgrounds.[3] His life has played a major role in his comedy as the characters of Atan and Atok were inspired by his village and his upbringing where he met people of different races.
Jamali died on 3 February 2021 at age of 79, following an old age. He was laid to rest beside the grave of his late wife at the Sungai Pinang Muslim Cemetery in Pulau Indah, Selangor after Zuhr prayers. [4] [5] [6]
