The Big 5-0
Helmi Yusof
Singapore may have turned 54, but look who's turning 50 - funnyman Hossan Leong. Even though the Peter Pan of Singapore comedy retains his trim figure and boyish mien, Leong has long weathered the storms of life and the entertainment industry to emerge bolder, wiser and funnier than ever. His concert titled Hossan-AH 50! - Love You LEONG Time! features songs, jokes and commentaries about his life in Singapore thus far, in which he's witnessed six tourism slogans, three recessions, two international airports (Kallang and Changi) and one ruling party. Check in with Mr Double-Confirm as he takes you on a whirlwind recollection of 50 years of laughs and loves.
Hossan-AH 50! runs at the Drama Centre Theatre from Aug 14 to 31. Tickets from Sistic.
