Kumar: Stripped Bare and Standing Up (Re-run)
4 – 7 March 2010
Esplanade Theatre
KUMAR: STRIPPED BARE & STANDING UP returns to the Esplanade Theatre BY POPULAR DEMAND! The outrageously funny Kumar sold out his 5-show run at the Esplanade last year before the shows even started and when he finally hit the stage, everyone was squealing with laughter! Uncontrollable madness! After 17 years in the “funny-biz”, Kumar, the undisputed Drag-Queen of local comedy stripped off more than just the skin-tight panty hose and turned his “no-holds-barred” wicked sense of humour onto himself. Nothing is sacred as he shares the hilarious (yet moving) stories of his growing up years with his Dad, how he was discovered in a dress after Boom Boom Room and his many escapades during Basic Military Training. There is nothing basic about this show which incorporates a wonderful “mini-docu” and culminates in Kumar showing off his dancing skills with Singapore’s best known tabla-man, Maniam. It is theatre-magic not to be missed!
The Hossan Leong Show 2010 (Episode 2)
23 September – 9 October 2010
Drama Centre Theatre
HOT OFF THE PRESS! Recipe for Prized National Dish DISAPPEARS! Bibik Lily Lim forced to create a new, all-inclusive National Dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, races and religions. SINGAPORE’S most infamous Nonya, Bibik Lily Lim, contacted the authorities late last night when she discovered that the recipe for a prized national dish had gone missing. It is such a heavily-guarded secret that it cannot be named in this report. Not one to cry over spilt belacan, this Bibik is determined that the show must go on. She is currently in an undisclosed location, ‘tombok-ing’ her life away, creating a brand new recipe for you! “Mampus! The recipe was in my family for seven generations! Now my unborn grandchildren will never get to enjoy this sedap dish with their multi-racial friends.”
Also starring… Hossan Leong, Singapore’s funny-man, returns to the Drama Centre with a BRAND NEW episode of his ‘machiam-TV’ talkshow. He will be joined by nutty lunatics Karen Tan (Oi! Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and The Beast), Judee Tan (Broadway Beng®, Beauty World) and Chua Enlai (Sayang Sayang, Vlee Conference), who are absolutely shameless when it comes to making you laugh.
