How time flies! Mid March is upon us yet it feels like we just celebrated the beginning of 2015 not too long ago.

Here are 5 awesome things that’ll definitely give you your kicks.

Comedy at Canvas

In need of a laugh? Head on down to Canvas where Singapore’s leading drag queen Kumar will make sure you’ve laughed enough for the entire week!

Believe us when say that nothing goes under the radar, and you can always trust Kumar to tickle your funny bone.

Guinness St.Patrick’s Festival

Good ol’ St.Patrick. If it wasn’t for him, we wouldn’t be celebrating one of the world’s best loved boozy festivals.

Look forward to traditional performances, drink specials, and awesome music at this week long celebration.
