PUBLISHED January 30th, 2017 05:08 am | UPDATED May 14th, 2018 01:02 pm

Wrapping up January 2017, this week we highlight acts by the Comedy Club, intimate poetry reading, British metal’s most important band, a pool party and a screening at Singapore’s Open Air Cinema Club.

The Comedy Club presents The Fantastic February Show

This week at the Comedy Club, we have Gina Yashere (UK), Dana Alexander (CAN/UK), and Rory Lowe (AUS) bringing their unique brands of humour to the stage. While Gina Yashere is one of the few British comedians to break into the American comedy scene, Dana Alexander talks about everything from family to sex to culture with a down-to-earth and world sensibility. For tales of desire, destruction, and debauchery, Rory Lowe does it best. A show worth catching if you’re looking to have your funny bone tickled.

The Fantastic February Show is happening on 1 – 4 February 2017, 830pm onwards at 4 locations. For more details, check out the event page here.

Cities like Melbourne, Berlin, London, Bali and Kathmandu have also seen her performance work. Movement and poetry for healing aims to provide a safe space to identify and process unresolved personal history or traumatic issues.

Bring Me The Horizon Concert

Bring Me The Horizon has scored a Top 3 album, sold out shows around the world (including Wembley Arena), and have sold over 2 million albums worldwide to date.

For one night only, the metal band is scheduled to grace our island at Downtown East with special guests While She Sleeps.
