Yes, this is ‘the other stuff’ I’ve been busy with the past month, help­ing write a stage show for Hos­san Leong, who is Singapore’s fun­ni­est man, and I’m not say­ing that because he’s my best friend, but he’s really really funny, because he can make peo­ple laugh by repeat­ing the same jokes I’ve told, and which didn’t make peo­ple laugh.

Many of the things he tells that peo­ple laugh at come from per­sonal expe­ri­ence, which when I tell them, peo­ple just shake their heads and say ‘wah lao, you damn loser, man’.

Like the time when we were six­teen and went to our first club, unfash­ion­ably early, so early that only ele­va­tor music was play­ing, which we thought was the ‘actual music’ that we were sup­posed to dance to, and so, we danced. We stopped momen­tar­ily when the ‘actual music’ was put on by the inscrutable DJ, only god knows what he was think­ing, com­plete with strobe lights and all. Then we con­tin­ued dancing.

Wah lao, damn loser, man.

They say it’s all in the deliv­ery, and I sup­pose Hos­san has that in abun­dance, while for me, even the mee pok hawker reminds me, “自己拿, hor?” (please deliver it your­self to your num­bered table kind sir because I can’t be arsed with you) when I order lunch.

I’ve watched Hos­san per­form for decades (ok lah, not so old — a decade), and he never fails to crack me up, even if I’ve heard the jokes a hun­dred times before, at rehearsals, and when we’re just, well, kid­ding around.

Attached to this post is the 40 sec­ond radio ad which we recorded at Power 98. Yes, it is very short. So if you want to hear (and see) more, please go get your tick­ets now! The show, ‘Hos­san — Mul­ti­ple Per­son­al­i­ties Dis­or­der’, runs from Jan 31 — Feb 4.

There are early bird spe­cials if you buy before the year ends! Faster quick hurry go buy tick­ets now! Thank you!
