The first Singaporean to have a Netflix original comedy special, Fakkah hosts the More Better podcast when not performing at live shows. He has also just launched a pop-up comedy club.
I MAY SAY SOME WILD THINGS, BUT IT’S JUST TO MAKE PEOPLE LAUGH.
HIS NETFLIX SPECIAL IS TITLED ALMOST BANNED BECAUSE THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED
“I made fun of a political head and his followers did not take it lightly – they wanted me banned from the country. Fortunately, the matter got resoIved, but since I became known for what happened, I just thought I’d take the ‘brand’ in stride.”
HIS HUMOUR IS CENTRED ON TRUTH
“When I do my shows, I tell real stories and share real perspectives. The ‘funny’ comes from within. It’s a good form of therapy! Comedy has been a reliable source of happiness for me.”
HE IS “VERY AFRAID” OF PEOPLE MISUNDERSTANDING HIS INTENTIONS
“I’m very concerned about how I make the room feel, even when I’m not doing a show – I may say some wild things, but it’s just to make people laugh. I always feel anxious about being misunderstood, particularly since I realise that people like you until they don’t.”
HE STARTED A POP-UP COMEDY CLUB BECAUSE HE DOESN’T WANT THE CRAFT TO DIE
