Part of the trio from Saranae Show, Keatisak Udomnark, better known as Sena Hoy, entered the entertainment business with Yuthakarn Kayab-nguerk. From a slow start on the successful comedy show, he really grew into the role, and now Hoy is a well-known actor, host, comedian and singer. He is also a part of Lucks 666, which produces popular programs like Saranae Show and Nang Yang Show. His Lucks Music record label is going well, especially after his first song, “Ab Ngao,” was a big hit.

Lucks Music is like kindergarten. It’s open for newcomers to come to learn and play together. Chatchawan Pukahuta makes the decisions, like selecting the artists. I just help him with bits of this and that.

Our artists must be new faces and be able to sing well and make music.

We don’t select handsome or beautiful people and have them trained later.

I listen to all kinds of music. I studied classical music, but I like pop, rock and hip hop more.

My next album? I think I’ll give it away just for fun, so that people can burn it on CDs for their friends. I don’t want to make a full album. I feel sorry for the music makers and song composers when they create their work and CD pirates copy it.  

Indie artists are everywhere. Even pubs can open record labels. With so many competitors, we have to do a good job.

I don’t have a beautiful voice. But fortunately, I have great songwriters and composers.

My selling point? My appearance. I’m quite good-looking; that’s at least what my mom told me [laughs].

What has brought me here is my uniqueness. They all remember my character: fat with pineapple-like hair.

I perform without any expectation. I don’t expect that anyone will laugh at my jokes. Sometimes I know that a joke is dry, but I’ll just say it if I want to.

I’ve been in this business for almost 15 years and I try to keep a high standard. I do my homework and keep learning. I never go on stage without researching or reading scripts.

Kids these days… Maybe they don’t know or no one ever taught them about respect. Some kids wai me with only one hand. Or some teen stars make me wait for hours when they come to my show. 

Even before I became a TV comedian, Pah Ju, Juree Osiri, taught me there are three things I need in order to stay at my job. One: punctuality. Two: respect. Three: honesty to my career. After more than 10 years, her words still resonate in my ears.     

I don’t feel proud because my song “Ab Ngao” was a hit. What makes me proud is that Lookpad and Toffee got to be known to the public. I knew them when they were nobody, but they climbed the ladder of success with their talent and our songs.

My next project is a film. I expect audiences to see it and then say it’s damn funny. I don’t want to make a touching or intellectual film. People have enough stress.

Critics can say anything about my upcoming film, I’m not worried about it. Those who look down on the films comedians make, they must be from the production side, and not ordinary street walking people. The public doesn’t mind spending some B140 if a movie entertains them. This is my audience, not the critics.

Another thing I want to do is to perform on stage. I rose from the theater, it’s in my blood.
