STAND-UP COMEDIAN
LOCATION: SINGAPORE
Sharul is the only full-time female stand-up comedian in Singapore. Fuelled by the twin desires to give women a voice and put Singapore on the global comedy map, she has recently staged sold-out shows highlighting the challenges faced by women today, such as Crazy Poor Sita, and Disco Sheela and Other Indian Superwomen. Also a trained actor, she is planning a tour of Asia.
Asian women are taught to be coy and pretty and sweet and not to laugh with our mouths open or be too aggressive—and that’s not funny. With Asian culture, there are a lot of barriers to break culturally for female performers.
