Top 5 things to do in Singapore this week: 19th – 25th May 2014

In our round up of top events to catch this week, we’re excited to usher in some awesome music with Music Matters Live with HP, some crazy-ass comedy involving some out-of-line puppets with global comedy sensation Jeff Dunham, and to lose ourselves and probably some of our bank balance at the Affordable Art Fair. If all that sounds too exciting, take the edge off with a tribute to all that is rosé with the Rosé Revolution Party and for fashionistas, if you’ve got any cash left to splash after last week’s Blueprint Emporium, swing by to Flea Titan and see what blogger delights you can bag.

1. Jam up your soundwaves at Music Matters Live with HP

Four huge nights of music magic with over 60 bands, from 18 countries and over 170 shows, Clarke Quay is going to be transformed from urgh! to awesome as an army of buzz-worthy and magnetic bands jam up the bars in the area. With everything from electronic rockers to K Pop, there’s going to be something for everyone.

Music Matters Live with HP is taking place on 21st – 24th May at various locations in Clarke Quay. For more information, including line up see here.

2. Get disorderly with comedian Jeff Dunham

Global comedy sensation Jeff Dunham (aka the awesomely hilarious ventriloquist) rolls into town with his entourage of signature comedy puppet characters. With half a billion You Tube views, a plethora of sold out shows world-wide and holding the banner of “the most popular comedian in the United States” by Time Magazine, let’s see what he’s got in store for Singapore!

Jeff Dunham’s “Disorderly Conduct Tour” is taking place on 21st May at The Star Theatre, The Star Performing Arts Centre, 1 Vista Exchange Green, #04-01, Singapore, 138617. For more information and ticketing see here.

3. Be inspired at the Affordable Art Fair Singapore

The honour of the 100th Affordable Art Fair falls to Singapore this year! Be inspired in a big woop woop of a celebration with paintings, sculptures, prints and photographs being showcased from galleries all across the world. Even if you’ve only got $100 in your pocket, you too can walk away with something of you own. Or if you’re not in the market for buying, just treat it as the epic art exhibition it is.

The Affordable Art Fair Singapore is taking place on 23rd – 25th May at F1 Pit Building, 1 Republic Blvd, Singapore, 038975. For more information and ticketing see here.
