Irene Ang in the V-Conference

Not every press con­fer­ence gives out a swag that con­tains panties, and I’m happy to be asso­ci­ated with one that is. Thank you Tri­umph. OK, now that you’ve closed the bra company’s win­dow, read on…

That’s a pic­ture of Mr Y K Foo, free­lance pho­tog­ra­pher snap­ping for Women’s Weekly, hold­ing up one such panty with glee. OK, it was posed, obvi­ously. But glee­fully posed, can?

Rehearsals have started in earnest for Irene Ang’s one woman (and one man) show called “Irene Ang in the V-Conference”, and everyone’s going a bit mad, which is a good thing. Mad is good. You should see Irene Ang mad. She’s damn funny when she’s mad. Mad as in crazy.

Beat­rice is going a bit mad too, but then she’s already mad to want to direct this show after com­ing off things like “Cabaret”.

Script reads and rehearsals so far have been really fun because Irene’s a bit scared of what we’re want­ing to make her do. “What are you all try­ing to make me do?” is a com­mon refrain in the rehearsal room.
Co-star Chua Enlai, on the other hand, is never ret­i­cent about being totally out­landish, so he’s already a hoot.

On behalf of Fly Enter­tain­ment (Irene’s com­pany), thank you all youse journos who turned up for the press con­fer­ence at Bellini Room, St James Power Sta­tion last week. For those who didn’t, you missed out on a bit of fun that Fly decided to put up, trans­fer­ring a bit of the energy that rehearsals have been packed with. We made Irene wear a ridicu­lous frilly skirt and answer really awk­ward ques­tions from the ‘press’ — com­pris­ing myself, Beat­rice and Enlai. Ques­tions such as “Irene, will we be see­ing your “V” dur­ing the show?” were thrown at an unpre­pared Irene, who man­aged to ad lib admirably with­out reveal­ing too much.

If only all press con­fer­ences were this fun.

Irene Ang in the V-Conference runs 25th — 27th and 30th Sep­tem­ber at Movida St James Power Sta­tion. Tick­ets avail­able from tdc.sg and from all tickets.com out­lets.

Please, come and watch! Bring your friends!

Enlai (not pay­ing atten­tion), Beat­rice, Irene and me (don’t like flash)

No, Beat­rice didn’t have to squat to get to my height

In Malaysia, this is known as a “Wee“
