Comedian, Surf Coach & Master Impressionist

If you’ve been following his social media, you’ll know that Ketut is SO much more than just another surfer dude in Canggu. From satire to accent impressions and observational comedy too, Ketut showcases his acting talent and humour through his hilarious Bali-focussed Instagram (@northsidestory) and TikTok (@defriedbanana), attracting hundreds of thousands of followers from all over the world.
Ketut grew up in Seminyak, and now resides in the hip ‘hood of Canggu. He runs a surf school and meets new friends from different countries, from whom he gets to pick up various accents. In 2020, as the island and tourism slowed down due to the pandemic, he started recording and sharing his comical side and knack for accents. From then, his social media popularity skyrocketed (he’s racked up almost 700,000 followers on Tik Tok, and counting!), with content ranging from pure comedy to Bali’s social and environmental issues that Ketut presents in the most humorous ways. Light-hearted yet oh-so relatable… we’re always looking forward to his next post!
Ketut, you’re our Local Legend!
