Hamsum Ah Beng Sebastian Tan is back to celebrate 10 years of East meets West. You’ve seen him before at a teeny tiny theatre at Robertson Walk and once again at the Esplanade.

There will be humour, nostalgia, lots of Hokkien show-tunes, a backing band, and a group of all-singing, all-dancing chio bus!
