In this episode of The Rishi Report, I sit down with the OG Singapore boy himself—Hossan Leong. We go right back to his beginnings, the first time he ever did stand-up, and why theatre will always be his first love even after everything else he’s done. And yes, we talk about the big, slightly terrifying question every performer is thinking about: will AI take over our jobs, or can we actually use it for purposeful work without losing the human magic? From there, we get into the real showbiz stuff—staying relevant, learning everything from scratch, and the business side of being an artiste (including Double Confirm Productions and how Singapore talents are basically forced to be multifaceted). We also unpack viral moments, the aftermath of being in the spotlight, and what fame actually does to a person when the camera turns off. And because it’s me, we swap corporate gig horror stories, talk about knowing your worth, and end on what Hossan fears most career-wise—because behind the jokes, that’s where the real conversation always is.
