Comedy at Canvas
Singapore’s most iconic drag queen comic Kumar needs no introduction, with stand-up shows full of political gags and dirty jokes. Want to catch this local legend live? Head down to Canvas Club every month for evenings of irreverence and witty zingers. Just remember to get your tickets in advance before they sell out.

Arguably the hottest comedy night along Boat Quay, it has seen famous stand-up comedians from all over the world gracing the stage. If you’re perfectly capable of laughing at yourself, take a seat at the front – you’ll likely find yourself the target of some good-natured ribbing.

The Merry Lion Comedy Cafe and Bar
Perhaps the only venue in Singapore that does comedy full-time, this joint hosts weekly open mic sessions on Mondays and gigs featuring local all-stars on Fridays alongside stand-up shows by regional and international acts that will leave you in stitches. It’s great for a night out too; throw a bit of banter with the mates over drinks and some tasty bar grub at the bar.

Chandler’s Comedy Night
Fans of the hit comedy sitcom Friends can soak up the coolly similar set of Central Perk and loosen up at Chandler’s Comedy Night. Aptly named after “the funny one”, this humorous series stars Kumar rolling out the laughs by poking fun at everything under the Singapore sun.
