Missed the Race? Don’t panic. We’ll give you a second chance to catch the hilarious Kumar in his Amazing Race! Better put on your running shoes and get to SISTIC before this Race is over again! You don’t want to miss Kumar as he sprouts all things Indian. From Taj Mahal Heroes to the Invention of the Number Zero. From the All-Embracing Karma Sutra to the All-Encompassing Centre Mustafa. From Ayurvedic Cures to Bollywood Scores. From Moneylender Loans to Call Centre Phones. From Old Ramayana Tales to New Turban Males! Is there anything that’s not from Motherland India? Everything will be revealed tongue-in-cheek by cheeky Kumar in a sari, always making you laugh and never needing to be saying sorry. Sharing riotous real-life stories and jokes on growing up Indian here in faraway Singapore, where being only 8% of the population means sometimes being the “ah-bu-ne-ne” used by many to scare children into behaving properly. How like that?!!! Well, came and see for yourself how one Queen stands up for 1.2 billion Indians all over the planet. How else but with bellies-full of laughter.

Once upon a time, there lived five million people on one tiny Red Dot. There were broken-down trains, broken-through floodgates and recently-broke ministers (not!) all screaming for some relief. Where could anyone find HAPPINESS? Look no further! This June/July there’s going to be a laugh-down-the aisle Hilarious Rumble that will blow away all our Hum-drum Grumbles. Singapore’s TOP COMEDIANS will run amok at the Esplanade as they take on all things Singaporean in their pursuit of your Happiness! In a city where it’s getting too costly to even fall sick, here’s a shot of a miracle cure for all our frustrating ailments.

Laughter IS the best medicine especially when Michelle Chong (the Noose), Gurmit Singh (PCK), Najip Ali (Asia Bagus and Sing Dollar), Sebastian Tan (aka the Broadway Beng®), Moses Lim (Under One Roof), Selena Tan (Dim Sum Dollies®), Chua Enlai (the Noose), Judee Tan (the Noose), Siti Khalijah Zainal (The Hossan Leong Show), internet sensations Hirzi & Munah and the one and only KUMAR are doling out the much needed jabs in standup comedy madness! You don’t want to miss the chance to be laughing all the way to good health and great Happiness. Come and you’ll be sure to find your Happy Ever Laughter®!

Join our talented cast as they try to persuade our hero, Robert, to do what our Government has been hard selling for years… Get married! Lots of great laughs and great songs about LOVE.
