During the widely-acclaimed ‘princess segment’ even the videosįlashed against the backdrop were all carefully scripted to extract maximum !! Hossan must have really gone through a lot of planning and preparation for Think this must have been the best comedy show I have seen by a local artiste ever I have not laughed so hard and much at any show ever.

His stand-up comedy routines full of his typical gusto and charm. Two hours straight without any break or interval. Their every emotion, from heart-wrenching sorrow to joy and laughter.ĥ0 years old, I must say that Hossan is still very energetic. His acting had the audience in a trance, controlling His eyebrow, every flick of his finger, every shake of his hips, every step he Small part of this play, 90% of the experience was down to Ivan.

If you are going for any of these events, practice good personal hygiene. It is always better karma to encourage rather than discourage. Tell them how good it was and how safe it was and not to worry. tell your friends, relatives, colleagues, neighbours and pets in any and all ways. If you did go for any local arts event and had a good time, spread the word…. Did you and will you discourage your friends, relatives, colleagues, neighbours and pets from going to work, foodcourts for meals, supermarkets both in Singapore and in Johor Bahru to stockpile on essentials? Please don’t discourage your friends, relatives, colleagues, neighbours and pets from going. That extra 50 rolls of toilet paper or 100 packs of instant noodles can wait for next month.

Will be filled to the rafters but instead the turnout was less than half the Same last Saturday () at the matinee show. Postponed or cancelled all because of fear of the virus spreading. Practitioners are struggling to stay afloat. Straits Times, “Arts scene hit hard by virus fears.” highlight how Even the local Arts scene and its community are not spared. Very dark cloud over Singapore with the Covid-19 virus. Even Hossan who I personally think is getting better andīetter (like fine wine la, if you get my drift). More feelings and a more rounded performance in Earnest 2020. They played the same roles in EarnestĢ009 and I must say they have matured into the roles since then. The two main ‘male’ characters of Algernon and John (Earnest) were played by Brendon Fernandez and Daniel York Loh. I think he is such a natural and he can just do this in Ivan Heng of course played the role of Lady BracknellĪs he has always done. With every nuances in their expressions perfect. Where they were ‘bitchy’ all the way to ‘reconciliatory’ was just so good A special shoutout to Chua Enlai and Gavin Yap who played
