IQ HitList #1 with Kumar
IQ brings you one-on-one time with some of the most talked about personalities in Singapore. Go behind the scenes with IQ HitList for a dose of unfiltered reality.
Best known for being the resident performer at Boom Boom Room, Kumar is often associated with pithy swipes at Singaporean life and society. With a repertoire that sweeps across politics, race and sex, Kumar’s flamboyant style and drag queen status has made him a figure of controversy. With television appearances and theatre performances under his belt, Kumar is easily one of the most versatile and instantly recognisable figures on the local entertainment scene.
Yet, little of the true Kumar is known. Offstage, what is Kumar and what does he think of certain pressing issues in Singapore?
Catch Kumar on IQ HitList inaugural episode as he shares his observations on life in the heartlands, NS and politics among others.

YES!
This guy most importantly is truthful and dare to speak up and be different. He wants to go into our Singapore's Parliament???! I see, "why not"! Go for it Kumar! You have my vote! He will bring new lease of life and humor into our country! 😀👍🏻
As a Singaporean living in Malaysia, i think Kumar would be a good MP!

Kumar I love you for who you are. You bring so much light not only at your shows but to make our society aware that all of us are unique and we should accept every individual and respect each other and not be judgemental as no one is superior it's just their stupidity and bad attitude. I respect you nd all those who maybe different in the way they project themselves....
Did he just call Kumar “it”? That’s so rude

I felt the same....ridiculous la. How on earth he came up with that? Gender shouldn't be a thing that determines whether a person gets respect. A person is just a person a human being period!

The host is blah…. And meh….
Yes! I believe that Kumar will make a great MP. He is down-to-earth, approachable and has a good feel of views of the common man. Most of all, he is truthful, direct, honest and a great observer of everyday life with the intelligence and courage to speak up for the common man. I enjoyed watching this interview. Great job, Viswa and the IQ Team!
kumar ..god bless u...wish u good health and happy
Kumar is a beautiful human.. I love him 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
what a fantastic guy. go for parliament!! you have my support!
come on kumar....go for it...u got nothing to lose...We badly need a fresh voice....
It was very unbecoming of him to start a dialogue session by addressing a person as "IT".
🙏 Mr, KUMAR i agree you what you say. 100% true 👈👍👍👍
He is a beautiful person , you are are a loveable person.
I don't think Singapore's ready to have Kumar in parliament as an elected MP but NMP, why not? He made his living on stage as a cross-dresser and gets away with the most (R) rated lines and with being caustically racist with no apologies but people love his comedy. He makes us laugh at ourselves, not to take ourselves so seriously. That really makes life so much more bearable. Kumar is a curious brand. You can't put a finger to why people are drawn to him though they may not necessarily accept his personal lifestyle choices. He is unapologetic for being alternative, for going against the grain, for making the best of what life dishes out at him and carving success for himself inspite of the odds. I think that's at the heart of why people admire him so. I suppose he represents a hope that people can be individuals, be accepted and succeed in a society where herd think is dominant and considered mandatory as a success factor.
i'll vote for kumar..
Kumar I am a great fan... You have made my days with so much laughter and joy. God bless you always Kumar. Love you❤️
The interviewer was very rude! Kumar is a NATIONAL ICON .He is loved here and bySingaporeans overseas when he visits on SIngapore Day!💙
I see him as a beautiful soul
kumar is ORIGINAL n i respect his intentions..GO GURL
i like the way he talk, easy to understand and funny guy. his comedy very natural.
KUMAR FOR PRIME MINISTAAR NOW
i like this interview vrry much, he must get a seat in the house as MP and there be life in singapore.😄😅😂😃
Send my regards to Kurma. His first creative job as ‘singing waiter’ at ‘Cheers’ pub (@former Novotel Orchid Inn) where I got him in to join. My fondest memories at that time and I am glad he is famous now. Well done Kumar. JW
Kumar keeps it real. And does not live in an ivory tower. Dats why i will vote for him if he wants to serve the country bec he will be the People's Voice
I am Kumar's fan 🔥... Kumar is just a legend....
He can just summarize and just say Drag is a uniform. Like any other uniforms u wear to work: police, security, nurse etc. His office is the stage. He leaves his office as a guy eventually. TRANSEXUAL is a form sexuality. NOT a uniform. like Gay bisexual etc. Its completely different. You can be Transexual and do drag. You can also be a straight married man and do drag, bec since its a uniform, u can leave it after your show to be whoever you really are.
Because Kumar you showed us who you really are and not afraid to hide so that is good
Thank y'all so much dearest 🌹 Y'all such an inspiration 🥰 Appreciate y'all from the bottom of my heart 💖 Be Blissful Eternally 🙏👼🌈
My favourite comedian
Highest, higher, tips of love Lost a lot left a fewer. May the force be with a Grace.

Yes! Kumar you have my vote
Kumar you're amazing. The interviewer was judgement

I love this men so much. ..
Points 17.00 onwards are exactly our thoughts kumar. We"ll support you singaporean!!!
love kumar. but format is too boring for youtube
*i love Kumar* 🤗🤗🤗❤
What make Kumar special is that he is sincere. Secondly he doesn't promote his sexuality nor impose. He is as he is and he is accepted. Thirdly he make us laugh. What annoy others is some gays try to be more women than woman. Their gestures and speech are exaggerated. That disturbed many. Promotion of gay rights or permitted to marry and adopt like european countries is just not acceptable. They cannot make children they adopt call them mummy when they are men or daddy when they are women. There are serious fundamental moral issues that are sacred and cannot be changed.
IT???? Seriously? Kumar What are you??? How does this interviewer get away with this rubbish? There could have been a hundred ways to ask the same questions with respect and dignity. But hats off to Kumar.. no negative emotion.. such humility. Beautiful soul!
Love u Kumar.. God bless
there's no need for anyone to explain to anyone else who they are or what they are true this is an interview but this interviewer did not hv to start out with such a damn Rude question i mean is he serious¿ who the 'hell' r u? my gosh what the hell... i m impressed by Kumar's grace and positive respond to such a daft question
1:37 Anyone knows where I can watch the debate organised by the law academy where Kumar and Viswa thrashed the law team?
Kumar should start his own Political Party,! The people will support Kumar,! Call it the People’s Voice Party Kumar, Just Do It!
the only constant reply.......YES...YES....YES....
U are such a talented guy Mr Visva. I have always admired u.
join the parliament, kumar! and I will return to Singapore for good :)
Awesome i will vote for you 🎉
Good one Kumar. You are right. Enlightenment doesn't happen with age. It's maturity. Not making sweeping statement but most who are chasing the branded things in life are those who aren't confident with themselves, internal and external. They needed the branded materials to uplift their image and low self esteem which they think they are lacking. Search within ourselves and we'll know. The answer is in our hearts .

Enlightenment doesn't exist 😂😂😂 It's better to have material goods to uplift a person than the so called thought process that tricks and fills the being with delusion and makes one egoistic.
Great soul
The host asked stupid question!

Lousy interviewer with boring questions. Kumar is far more fun and should be allowed to elaborate more. Not the interviewer talking too much

Can anyone upload that SG law academy debate video
Kumar will be a great MP ❤️
Kumar my best valtukal
The MC IS EXTREMELY RUDE!!! INCONVENIENCE IS NOT EQUAL TO RUDE NOR UNRESPECTFUL! Kumar is beyond gender, i see Kumar as a He though, he is doing great job on what he’s doing... I could see that the MC was not as harsh towards the end, but could have a better choice of words
Exactly, how can the interviewer be so rude to address Kumar with "IT". "IT" is used for non-living objects. Kumar is probably making more sense and anyone else, talking about real things, on and off stage. Kudos Kumar.
Love Him
i realise that his hands keep shivering for every recent video of him ... anyone realise that ? i hope he is doing fine in health wise
Stupid, annoying interviewer. Who is he? Singaporeans adore this host?. Kumar is good. Love him
Kumar is clearly a national treasure. With such apparent lofty ideals, it will be unwise to book the coliseum. A humorous hyena is still a meal for the hungry merlions when the tide turns. Hail Caesar salad. 🙏
A talented person.
