About Masala

“If you want to shake away the Monday Blues on a Tuesday, head to Home Club. It’s seriously funny.
And that’s no joke.”

Comedy Masala was founded by Umar Rana in September 2010 to establish a weekly Standup Comedy Open Mic platform in Singapore and to give anyone a chance to learn and perform standup comedy to a live audience. Comedy Masala kicked off on 5th October 2010, and it has since seen a multitude of local comedians get up onstage for three to five minutes every Tuesday.

Comedy Masala’s popularity has increased rapidly since its launch. The thrill of watching live comedy whilst enjoying happy hour drinks all night has made Comedy Masala at Home Club one of Singapore’s best Tuesday nights out.

Until the MediaCorp TV Series deal, Comedy Masala’s biggest success had come in February 2010 when two comics who performed regularly at Comedy Masala, opened for the Emmy-nominated actor and Saturday Night Live veteran Rob Schneider during his standup comedy world tour stopover in Singapore. Comedy Masala’s Resident MC Umar Rana was also chosen as the MC for the night. The event remains as the biggest crowd Comedy Masala has performed for, with over 1,400 people cheering and laughing!

Comedy Masala has produced and co-presented professional comedy shows LAUGH OFF ASIA and KARMA KOMEDIANS in Singapore in partnership with Home Club & DMR Productions.
