I just came back from watching
Hossan, LIVE! at my school. I was informed yesterday that we were entitled to free tickets to his show. And I wouldn’t want to miss it. So we went to watch the show and man, it was fantastic! He really tickled our funny bones. It was pure comedy and laughter. Whoever said Singapore doesn’t have good comedy talents? We only have a very minority of them and they have their own versions and ways of poking fun at things local and abroad. I really cannot mimic his actions and expressions. You need to be there to understand what I went through. That show really made my Friday night.
You see these local comedians on local television and sometimes you tell yourselves that they’re not even funny at all. But no, maybe they don’t seem funny at all as a group and because it’s aired, they need to censor some stuff. But if you get to see them outside, like this live show, it’s really amazing. Have you people seen
The Noose? I find that the actors in it have good acting skills. They have to make up different accents, act different roles and I could say that they actually live up to that. I really should give more credits to the local comedians. We have our local talents so give them our support!
Back to the show, it opened my eyes to see how talented Hossan Leong is. Let me be honest, I wasn’t much interested in his acts before this. I do watch him on
Front before but I didn’t give him much credit. Until today, he just wowed me! He sang, danced (there were dancers too) and even played the piano. I’m telling you, he’s very good. He even sings in French! You know what? Never mind that I cannot watch Russell Peters because the tickets were sold out. I think
Hossan, LIVE! is really worth it. The ticket prices were cheap (fuck you if you think because there’s no standard), it’s held in my school (in the heartlands, brother!) and it’s simply amazing. I can’t help it but to praise him lots. Russell Peters may come all the way from overseas but wait, does he play the piano? Does he sing? Does he dance? Bottom line is, Hossan Leong is multi-talented.
All I could say now is, Hossan Leong changed my perception. He opened my eyes. And he made my Friday night. When the show had come to an end, I just can’t believe it. I really don’t want it to end and I wanted him to make more jokes. Nevertheless, I count myself lucky to be able to catch his show.
