It doesn\u2019t matter that all that\u2019s <i>running<\/i> through my head is a classic compilation of said celebrity <i>running<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>The audience gasps, but only to some measure &#8211; it&#8217;s as though a magician getting his tricks right is an expectation these days.<\/p>\n<p>What truly makes Adrian\u2019s show is what he does next. He gestures to the audience, and on cue, they all shout \u201camaaazing!\u201d. This Australian magician\u2019s routine is a seamless combination of magic and self-deprecation.<\/p>\n<p>It seems like a distinctly apparent pairing choice, though not often seen in the stand-up, or magic scenes.<\/p>\n<p>This is one stand-up act you can go to without having to worry about getting picked on for the way you look, or for the fact that your partner looks much younger than you, sugar (\u00e0 la Russell Peters).<\/p>\n<h2><b>Feeling The Spark<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Adrian was born in Sydney, Australia, to Malaysian Chinese parents who\u2019d moved there in the 70s. As part of his \u201cday-job\u201d, Adrian had travelled to Hong Kong, and has been in Singapore since 2016.<\/p>\n<p>His days in magic precede his days in comedy, stemming from when he was just 11 years old.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are magic shops in Sydney, and there was this guy out in front doing tricks to get people to buy magic books. I convinced my mom to buy me one,\u201d Adrian tells me.<\/p>\n<p>The now suave man\u2019s stage talents began with a history teacher who saw him performing some tricks for friends. The teacher later gave Adrian a few minutes to perform at the end of every history lesson in what Adrian describes to be his \u201cfirst open mics\u201d.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 2058px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/scontent-sit4-1.xx.fbcdn.net\/v\/t31.0-8\/28827189_10155663213889495_1993124965673648814_o.jpg?_nc_cat=0&amp;oh=26b948b9c7804cf164c56909ec0cc034&amp;oe=5BAD44EA\" alt=\"Adrian Saw\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1367\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Very suave indeed. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AdrianSawMagic\/\">Source.<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cAt the time, it was more of a .. fumble through the tricks, kinda mess it up and go from there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gradually, it led to his first \u201cproper\u201d performance at a friend\u2019s birthday party, where he\u2019d asked for the lights to be dimmed in fear of his methods getting discovered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was, in hindsight, absolutely terrible.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><b>An Unlikely, But Obvious Pair<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>I\u2019ve always seen magic and stand-up comedy as two completely different skill sets.

Adrian helps me put the two together.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>\u201cIt was a natural progression where a lot of things were never intended as comedy per se, but you get a lot of material from your audience especially when you\u2019re doing magic.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He explains by telling me about the organic opportunities for comedy that magic presents &#8211; like when unintentionally fumbling on a trick.

Most comedy clubs have had a relatively short lifespan, with 8-year-old Comedy Masala being the oldest club here, contrary to some comedy clubs in the United States which have stood grounded since the 1980s.<\/p>\n<p>Comedy isn\u2019t exactly amongst the first list of options for most Singaporeans when it comes to deciding where to go on a Friday night.<\/p>\n<p>But with recently active options like Netflix and spaces like Canvas, Blu Jaz and The Merry Lion, the resurgence of comedy as an entertainment form is inevitable, for now.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 2058px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/scontent-sit4-1.xx.fbcdn.net\/v\/t31.0-8\/30425550_10155776334404495_8978566987281176753_o.jpg?_nc_cat=0&amp;oh=3091900d0c17d5a1610eb09290246c88&amp;oe=5BB33369\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1367\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">A picture of Adrian Saw with a captivated audience at The Merry Lion Comedy Club. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AdrianSawMagic\/\">Source.<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>Adrian tells me that there\u2019s a fair amount of Singaporeans who perform and watch live comedy here and it goes without saying that performing for the first time in a foreign country can be daunting.<\/p>\n<p>Cultural differences and scene elitism can manifest or backfire in one too many ways. Adrian took quite the risk with his entry into the scene but it was, perhaps, the only way to do it.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>\u201cWhen I came to Singapore, I hadn\u2019t done any magic for 5 years\u2026 I just said, I want to do this, I just want to do five minutes of an open mic.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Things have turned out reasonably well for him. He\u2019s done a number of open mic nights here, and performs frequently at The Merry Lion, Singapore\u2019s newest comedy club addition.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Is There \u2018Local\u2019 Comedy?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>I\u2019m Singaporean. If you are too, then you\u2019d know that there are some jokes that wouldn\u2019t resonate with us as well as, say, an ERP joke would. Some of Singapore\u2019s most popular comedians have built their routines off anecdotes and slang that are uniquely Singaporean.<\/p>\n<p>Where many are used to a recurrent theme in jokes that are mostly funny because we \u2018get them\u2019, Adrian likely has a harder time pleasing an audience than many locals would. He tells me that even non-Singaporean comedians resort to \u201ccommenting a lot about life in Singapore and the differences in where they\u2019re from\u201d. Cue chewing gum jokes.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not necessarily a bad thing.<\/p>\n<p>Television hit comedy sitcom The Office is well loved for both British and American versions, but by different people. The wildly successful American version would not have existed if no one had seen potential in adapting the original, British version, helmed by stand-up comedian Ricky Gervais.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 746px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i.pinimg.com\/736x\/14\/9b\/b9\/149bb90019b8648ef230ee86988db183--racial-diversity-sentences.jpg\" width=\"736\" height=\"695\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/4dadventureland\/singlish-spore-humor\/\">Source.<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>As Adrian puts it, \u201cwhen you\u2019re growing up in a place, there are some things that you notice\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Behind the closed doors of comedy clubs and stand-up nights, material is confoundingly liberal, defiant of stereotypes that making fun of the government is absolutely off limits.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we\u2019ve progressed a lot more over the last few years in those terms.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><b>Opening New Doors, Alohomora<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Especially in Singapore, performance arts is a gritty way to make a living.

There\u2019s only one way to judge your act, and that\u2019s to perform in front of an audience.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 2058px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/scontent-sit4-1.xx.fbcdn.net\/v\/t31.0-8\/30419900_10155776327854495_6257072242698596404_o.jpg?_nc_cat=0&amp;oh=3072f70bf45db4646bcdcf1cf7f5ebe5&amp;oe=5BB0E2C8\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1367\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Is this your card?
