About this experience

Take a walk around Marina Bay with Hossan Leong, the well-known local comedian and Singapore Boy. The tour is ready whenever you feel like taking a stroll. It plays audio automatically at exactly the right time and place using your smart phone's GPS and the VoiceMap mobile app, which also works offline.

You'll hear intimate anecdotes from throughout his career, from his high-school days at the Anglo-Chinese School, to his first one-man stand-up show at the Victoria Theatre, to his role as the MC on National Day, when he had to keep 15,000 people entertained at the Marina Bay Float. You'll also get to know some of Singapore's most popular cultural institutions, and of course you'll laugh all the way.
