Not many people can say they owe their entire career to their local gay bar, but for comedian Sam See, that’s exactly the case!

His first brush with comedy happened while prepping for a talent show at Play Club in Singapore.

Performing in front of a queer audience gave him the spark to pursue comedy full-time.

We dug into what it was like growing up queer in Singapore, how his queerness shapes his comedy, and his experiences at an all-boys school (and yes, I think you know where that conversation goes!)....

I really got a lot out of this conversation, mostly because Sam and I have such a different perspective on things, and so much of what he reflected really resonated with me, and I think you'll really enjoy his stone-cold pragmatism.

If you haven’t already subscribed to my newsletter, Queer Word, you’re missing out! It’s where I promise to help you get a little queerer in under five minutes each week. This week, in Sam’s honour, I’ll be including some Singaporean queer slang, so make sure you sign up by Friday to catch it. Sign up here - https://queer-word.kit.com/3bf4af59cc
