Get ready to laugh till your sides hurt as Singapore’s most iconic contractor, Phua Chu Kang, makes his grand return to the stage in Phua Chu Kang: The Greatest Show Man.

After 17 years off the screen, Gurmit Singh will step back into the yellow boots of this unforgettable character for two nights of live comedy, set to take place on 24 and 25 October, 2024, at the HGH Convention Centre Sentul, Kuala Lumpur.

Fans of the curly-haired contractor, whose catchphrases like “Don’t play play” and “Best in Singapore, JB, and some say Batam” became legendary, will get a nostalgic treat. Phua Chu Kang, complete with his signature mole and exaggerated accent, is ready to bring the house down with the same hilariously over-the-top antics that made him a household name.

Presented by Popcorn Studio Sdn Bhd, this live comedy show is more than just a stroll down memory lane. Phua Chu Kang: The Greatest Show Man promises a dynamic mix of comedy, interactive segments, and top-tier entertainment.
