Kumar
Singapore’s Iconic Comedian
Kumar's signature style is risqué, candid and very perceptive. Having spent almost two decades as an entertainer and performer, he has a string of television, stage, and film credits to his name, but stand-up comedy remains his genre and career of choice. In his television appearances and roles, he does not perform in drag, but the stand-up comedy acts and theatre appearances are a delightful mix, indicative of the huge talent and versatility that he embodies. In 2011, he released his biography entitled, Kumar: From Rags To Drag which talks about his journey in the entertainment world. Over the years he has pushed boundaries, worked on crossing barriers and created a name in the world of comedy.
