Abstract

Is Singapore the funniest country in the world? Yes, according to Mr. Brown, perhaps the country's most prolific satirist, and (un)officially, the 'Emeritus Senior Blogfather of Singapore'. Despite several run-ins with censors and authorities, the self-professed 'social media junkie' believes he has an important national duty to inform and entertain. Speaking to an amused crowd at a Wee Kim Wee Lunchtime Talk, Mr. Brown talked about his humble beginnings and where he finds inspiration for his brand of comedy.
