Kumar’s Amazing Race

On January 23, 2011 · 14 Comments · In People

The past cou­ple of years, I’ve said it’s a priv­i­lege work­ing with the fun­ni­est drag queen on the planet.

Nothing’s changed in that respect. In fact, it’s been even more fun explor­ing all things Indian. From Lit­tle India to real India. We’re still try­ing to get to the bot­tom of the whole […]

Free tickets: Kumar strips bare

On March 6, 2009 · 27 Comments · In Media, People

I have been at rehearsals for the past week for Kumar’s show, and I speak for every­one when I say we are hav­ing damn a lot of fun, can?

It’s also been a real priv­i­lege to be the writer for this show, because the stuff that Kumar’s been spew­ing dur­ing our work­shops has been […]

Seriously Hossan

On June 7, 2008 · 3 Comments · In Media, People

My best friend Hos­san is going to per­form at the Esplanade (again) on the 27th and 28th (and extra show on the 29th because of pop­u­lar demand) of this month. So, even if you’ve some­thing bet­ter to do (which I doubt, because it’s Hos­san per­form­ing at the Esplanade), get your tick­ets fast, and book yourself […]

Not every press con­fer­ence gives out a swag that con­tains panties, and I’m happy to be asso­ci­ated with one that is. Thank you Tri­umph. OK, now that you’ve closed the bra company’s win­dow, read on…

That’s a pic­ture of Mr Y K Foo, free­lance pho­tog­ra­pher snap­ping for […]

A good run

On February 11, 2007 · 12 Comments · In Living

Update: Engie Ho, oth­er­wise known as the multi-tasking pro­duc­tion admin­is­tra­tor for the show, has dili­gently informed me that I shouldn’t have left out the fol­low­ing names from my Thank You list: Shao Ann (light­ning light­ing designer), Mo (the the­atre cos­tume indus­try), Denise Low (The Pro­ducer). And the Ang Mo […]

Thick skinned

On February 1, 2007 · 53 Comments · In Media

When Naomi asked me last night, ‘how was the show?’, I said, ‘good, Hos­san was so funny I kept laugh­ing even though I knew what was coming’.

‘Not shy, some peo­ple! Laugh at own joke!’, she said.

What I can say is, the jokes are no longer mine once they’ve been given a […]

Opening night

On January 31, 2007 · 7 Comments · In Media

The show opens tonight! Yay!

Actu­ally, I’m not sure what I’m feel­ing at the moment. A bit of nerves, a bit of relief, a bit of pride, a bit of nerves.

But yay, nonethe­less. And yes, tick­ets are still avail­able for the rest of the run (till […]

Re-hearsing

On January 26, 2007 · 5 Comments · In Living

It can be quite thirsty work, rehears­ing for a show, even if you’re not the per­former. Every­thing is com­ing together nicely. Actu­ally, with five days to open­ing night, they’d bet­ter be. Thank good­ness for these fizzy vit­a­min tablets that you put in water that make you look like you’re peeing […]

Hypnotherapninny

On January 23, 2007 · 7 Comments · In Living

I’m really not one to speak about all this hyp­nother­apy hocus pocus and mind con­trol stuff, but I can say that one’s mind can play tricks on one. Espe­cially when one is, for var­i­ous rea­sons, like lack of sleep, sus­cep­ti­ble to being tricked by oneself.

See, I’ve spent a good minute […]
