KUMAR boom booms it old-school style, as he turns 50!
Fifty shades of gay? Of course. Plus Fifty shades of grey hair nicely coloured pink. Are you ready to get personal and comfy with Singapore’s Iconic Drag Queen?
Spilling the beans, dishing out the dirt, and showing us his hard truths, you’ll be loving his hilarious romp through the decades.
Regaling us with stories from his bouncy birth, to his beautiful girth, and his lifetime of sharing mirth, KUMAR will touch on everything that makes us tick and tickle our funny bone. Trust us when we say, in everything, KUMAR’s always on TOP!
KUMAR’s been top in school, top signaller in National Service, top act at Haw Par Villa, top Drag Queen at the Boom Boom Room and top National Icon who spearheaded the LGBTI cause even before it became an acronym. Serious Stuff ok! Yah la … until it comes out of KUMAR’s potty – oops, sorry, pouty mouth!
Come enjoy the funniest Golden Jubilee celebrations, as KUMAR is joined by his fabulous showgirls, shaking their booty and lip-syncing to the very best, from Whitney Houston to Taylor Swift.
So come to the Capitol, buy your drinks and Bottoms up. It’s the space that lets you drink and laugh yourself silly!
Ready to lead us into the next 50 years, SG 50 has nothing on this amazing Drag Queen! If you need a good laugh and you’re ready for some Capitol punishment, KUMAR is happy to give it to you real good! Hurry! 13 Shows only!
HAPPY EVER LAUGHTER® – THE BATTLE
11 July – 29 July 2018
Capitol Theatre
Dream Academy®’s fourth season of the biggest local live standup comedy event, HAPPY EVER LAUGHTER® takes things to a whole new level with THE BATTLE
12 of Singapore’s best comedians are pit against each other on The Capitol Theatre stage as they pull no punches in a no-holds- barred full-chuckled fight to the rib-tickling end.
They will be trading punchlines. They will be tearing down each other’s cool and calm exteriors. They will be throwing all caution and niceness out of the ring.
Irene Ang, Koh Chieng Mun, Selena Tan, Sebastian Tan a.k.a. Broadway Beng®, Suhaimi Yusof and Kumar will be defending their egos and reputations against Alaric Tay, Judee Tan, Sharul Channa, Fakkah Fuzz, Preetipls and Rishi Budhrani.
Each and every one a household name, each is well-loved by their fans and huge followings who, trail them from show to show, club to club and city to city, THE BATTLE will bring out their natural comedic instincts and call forth their rapier-keen ripostes.
Which team will win the bragging rights to be the true representatives of the best in local comedy?
Nothing will be off-limits – searching for new PM, flooding in MRT, dwindling staff and readers at SPH, increasing GST and retiring in JB. No one and nothing will be spared when these sharp- tongued and quick-witted performers train their critical eyes on what is bothering and bewildering Singaporeans and their foreign friends these days.
So, if you’re looking for laughing aches from belly to brain, grab a ring-side seat, get close to the action and see for yourself who emerges victorious as THE BATTLE unfolds!
