How Drama’s sketch show Fat Kids Are Harder To Kidnap returns for its 18th year on Friday 16 October at Wild Rice @ Funan, with 31 short plays packed into an hour. Tickets on BookMyShow start at S$35, and the run ends on 25 October.
How the show works
The audience decides the running order, calling out which play comes next from their seats, and the company warns that shouting will be required. The 2026 edition takes on the World Cup’s biggest moments, the high-stakes drama in the Strait of Hormuz and the BTS comeback.
The format has toured Paris, Washington DC and Oslo. It was nominated for Best in Theatre at the Sydney Fringe Festival in 2019 and the Melbourne Fringe Festival in 2020.
The company behind it
How Drama was founded in 2007 and makes site-specific and interactive theatre. It keeps Fat Kids ticket prices low on purpose to bring in young audiences, and puts it this way: “If you can watch a movie and buy pop corn, you can watch Fat Kids.”
Dates and tickets
Performances run over two weekends:
- Friday 16 October: 7.30pm
- Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 October: 3pm and 7.30pm

A booking fee of S$3 applies to each ticket priced between S$20.01 and S$40, and tickets cannot be refunded or exchanged. The show carries an Advisory 16 rating and the SG Culture Pass mark.
Each performance lasts 60 minutes with no interval. Everyone aged three and above needs a ticket, children must come with an adult, and latecomers are let in only at a suitable moment in the show.
