What’s Satirical in Singapore: The BenZi Project

A brilliant piece of performance comedy from three guys – two of whom, Benjamin Kheng and Hirzi Zulkiflie, are the BenZi Progect.  They satirize their home city, Singapore, and its people and culture.  Here are fresh eyes on the multicultural, global world we share, with a startling similarity in character but enough local references (peranakans!) to go beyond cliche.  The writing is, from the opening line, gently absurd.

Kheng and Zulkiflie play two execs at the Singapore Tourism Commission, interviewing a third, Andrew Marko, for a job.  Give it a couple of views, and then check out other skits here.
