PUBLISHED May 20th, 2018 06:00 am
This week it’s all about vibing outdoors at The Great Escape and Artbox Singapore. Laugh along with drag queen extraordinaire – of course it’s Kumar – or discover the wonderful world of French Animation!
Khruangbin – Live in Singapore
You’ve never heard anything quite like Khruangbin. This 3-piece band from Texas plays music that can’t quite be explained. ‘World music infused with classic soul, dub and psychedelia’ comes close but more importantly, they are superb performers who deliver a fantastic live set. With one show already sold out, the universe smiles upon us with Khruangbin adding a second live show at 10pm!
Khruangbin is performing on 21 May 2018 at The Projector. Tickets are priced at $75 and are available here.
Comedy Night at Picnic feat Kumar
Singapore’s most celebrated drag queen comedian, Kumar, will be performing at the Picnic Food Park. The quintessential date night of dinner and show features food from the venue’s wide variety of food trucks available like Ezo Hokkaido Eats, Rosti Haus, and Daebak, before Kumar takes to the stage with his irreverent humour and caustic wit. Grab a glass of wine and have a laugh this Thursday evening!
Comedy Night at Picnic feat Kumar is happening on 24 May 2018 at the Picnic Food Park. Tickets are priced at $55 and available here.
The Great Escape presents Mis-Shapes
Yay, you made it to Friday! Now let your hair down and party with free entry at The Great Escape.
