Singapore’s hottest new comics visit Australia together for the first time ever in this very special show.
Featuring:
Fakkah Fuzz - "A young, talented Malay stand up comedian" 8 Days
Rishi Budhrani - "hilarious material” The Online Star
Jinx Yeo - "One of Singapore's freshest young comic stars in the making" The Comedy Club Asia
Sons of Singapore is an exciting troupe of young Singaporean comedians under the guidance of Singapore based, veteran Aussie comic JONATHAN ATHERTON.
Jonathan, a former presenter of Lonely Planet and Globetrekker, is founder and CEO of THE COMEDY CLUB ASIA which produces international comedy shows in Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, India and Cambodia. (The Comedy Club Cambodia was the first ever English language comedy club in that nation).
One Indian, one Chinese and one Malay reflect the ethnic diversity of Singapore and the addition of an Australian MC makes it so much more like the real thing- it couldn’t be a Singaporean venture without some degree of foreign outsourcing...
SONS OF SINGAPORE promise an irreverent look at the inner workings of the Lion City and what it means to be Singaporean in this globalized age... and, of course, some damn good laughs!
