Fakkah Fuzz is undoubtedly one of the funniest man in Singapore. I first saw him years ago in a Freestyle Rap Battle where he is “Eminem–Roasting” the opposing rappers. I was cheering.

Fuzz, unlike any of us, he DID not do well in school in Malacca. After coming back to Singapore, he took whatever jobs that were available. If that means being a security guard or a waiter, he took it. Fast forward, he “nailed” it at his very own stand-up comedy special – “In Fuzz We Trust” at the Singapore Comedy Fringe 2016.
