Ask anyone to name a Singaporean stand-up comedian, and they'll instantly reply with Kumar, arguably the most prominent funnyman that everyone knows and loves. Even edging close to the age of 50, Kumarason Chinnadurai remains a regular figure in the entertainment circuit, often seen juggling multiple jobs as TV host, actor and stand-up stints at various bars and clubs.
His personality is often as loud as the outfits he wears on stage as a drag queen. Despite our notoriously conservative populace, Kumar remains cherished in the public eye even after coming out as gay in 2011 — because he's a true Singaporean treasure.
