Entertainment

Our all-time favourite entertainer, Pam Oei, will host this year’s show with Singapore’s larger-than-life drag queen Becca D’Bus. Chestnuts make their long-awaited return to the fan favourite Alamak Awards to roast the most OutRAGEous sexist instances this year. No party’s complete without music—the lineup also includes Asian DJ Icon Aldrin Quek and more surprise acts to fuel the evening’s soundtrack.


HOST
Pam Oei
Pam has been in more than 100 theatre, television and film productions and is known equally for being a dramatic and comedic actor. In 2010, this multi-hyphenate produced and directed AWARE’s 25th-anniversary fundraiser, Superwomen in Concert, at the Esplanade Concert Hall, raising $350,000 in a single night. Pam is also the lead singer of Singaporean rock band Ugly in the Morning.

HOST
Becca D’Bus
Becca D’Bus is Singapore’s biggest drag queen. In non-pandemic emergency times, she is the producer and host of RIOT!, Singapore’s only drag revue, as well as the series “The Glory Hoes present” at The Projector. She is one of the organisers of IndigNation, Singapore’s month-long Pride season. In pandemic emergency times, she has started a project called Cover Your Pie Hole, whereby she makes masks out of materials that were intended to become her costumes. She has generally avoided the use of the word “pivot”.

PARODY GROUP
Chestnuts
Singapore’s very first and longest-running parody show, Chestnuts, has spoofed movies, TV, current affairs, popular music and the theatre scene, always with a loving sense of nonsense and the sharp sting of social commentary. Since 1996, their unique brand of parody have made fans of audiences and critics alike. Chestnuts is now a must-see staple in many a Singapore satire-lover’s calendar.

MUSIC DIRECTOR
Elaine Chan
Elaine is an award-winning music theatre composer, arranger and director. She is the first female composer to write and direct music for the National Day Parade, and has written hits for popular theatre productions such as the Dim Sum Dollies and Wild Rice’s Aladdin. She is also an honoured recipient of the 22nd COMPASS Award for Artistic Excellence in 2017.

DJ
Aldrin Quek
Aldrin has been nominated for Best Newcomer at the Ibiza DJ Awards, described as Asia’s number-one DJ by British dance magazine Muzik and voted “Best Local DJ” in both Juice and I-S magazines in Singapore. He has been a key figure in building up Singapore’s vibrant dance scene since the mid-’90s. As the musical ambassador to the legendary nightclub Zouk in Singapore from 1996 to 2013, Aldrin’s signature ONE nights packed the club with faithful fans. He also flew the club’s flag with guest spots in clubbing capitals all over the globe, including Ibiza, London, Berlin, New York and Tokyo.
