Phua Chu Kang And Friends @ HGH Convention Centre, Sentul, Kuala Lumpur (7/4/17)
When: 7.00pm, Friday, 7th April, 2017
Of Yellow Boots and Talking Puppets
20 years of Yellow Boots
Popcorn Studio brings to you Phua Chu Kang and Friends
Phua Chu Kang is back! Just when we thought that our favourite Ah Beng played by Gurmit Singh has hung his yellow boots for good, he is back to tickle your funny bone with his large mole and even larger hair!
There is a catch though. Those yellow boots will be worn for one night only by the famous “contractor” in a show brought to you by Popcorn Studio Sdn Bhd, after having successfully staged five series of sold-out shows (Laugh Die You).
Phua Chu Kang and Friends will be staged live at HGH Convention Centre on 7 April 2017 at 7pm and audience can expect to be serenaded by the Ah Beng “contractor” at the show.
The show, said Popcorn Studio Sdn Bhd director Erik Ong, was curated for the whole family to enjoy bouts of laughter together.
“Most of us grew up watching Phua Chu Kang and had grown to love the larger than life character. Many of us who used to watch the popular TV sitcom with our families are now parents ourselves. Hence, we think it is a good idea to bring back the contractor who claims to best in Singapore and JB and some said Batam for the whole family to enjoy. Children and grand-parents are definitely welcome,” said Erik adding that Phua Chu Kang is an icon that is still popular today, after 20 years of character debut in September 1997.
The show will also be introducing Singapore’s funniest ventriloquist Joseph Then. Joseph, who is a veteran in the family entertainment scene, is known for his innovative ventriloquism acts with his wacky puppets characters.
His sense of humor, coupled with his puppet’s antagonistic behaviour is guaranteed to bring family-friendly laughter throughout the show!
Comics and ventriloquist aside, Popcorn Studio has also arranged for fun game intervals for families to participate and win attractive prizes. Apart from that, Malaysian up and coming singer Kael and the Gangster squad will also be making an appearance at the show.
About Gurmit Singh
Gurmit Singh Virk is a popular Singaporean actor, host and comedy performer. He is best known for his role in Phua Chu Kang Pte Ltd, and was an artiste in MediaCorp.
Making his debut in the variety show Live on 5 in 1994, he then became the host and lead actor of sitcom Gurmit's World. The second season of Gurmit's World, in which Gurmit portrayed his 'relatives' in a series of skits (unlike the first season where he played a wide assortment of mostly non-recurring characters), featured the first appearance of a character named Phua Chu Kang.
The Singlish-based spin-off sitcom Phua Chu Kang Pte Ltd in 1997 made Gurmit a popular icon in the recent years, not only in Singapore, but also in neighboring countries (especially culturally similar Malaysia). This factor led him to be the host of Singapore Idol. In 2003, Gurmit also won the Top 10 Most Popular Male Artistes at the Star Awards.
In November 2014, Gurmit announced the end of his full-time television career at Mediacorp after exactly 20 years. Gurmit shared that he planned to spend more time with his family and would take on artiste engagements on a more selective basis.
About Joseph Then
Known as “The Funniest Ventriloquist In Town”, Joseph’s wide variety of puppets and innovative ventriloquism acts make his show a unique show piece.
Joseph’s hilarious (but clean) sense of humor coupled with the puppet’s antagonistic behavior, Joseph brings in fun and laughter throughout the entire show.
His current achievements are as a Featured Performer, “Heritage of Singapore” (2015), First Singaporean to perform in VentHaven (USA) 2014’s International Show and Featured Performer, Ignite Faith Gala Night (2013-2015).
Joseph is also a member and Singapore correspondent for the International Ventriloquist Society and was featured in an interview for the Vent Haven community.
And who can forget the energetic, out-spoken and controversial funnyman, FAKKAH FUZZ? Recently made his way into the TOP 10 list of Laugh Factory's "Funniest Person In The World" competition, Fuzz is bringing his bragging rights across the causeway. He may be controversial but he is definitely witty and undeniably entertaining.
