Top Gear legend James May brings new live show about explorers to Singapore fans in August
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox British presenter James May will hold two live shows in Singapore in August. SINGAPORE - James May, the presenter of iconic motoring programme Top Gear, will take his live theatre show to Singapore fans on Aug 22 and 23 , for the first time. But instead of cars and bikes, the British TV personality will be bringing to life the tales of intrepid explorers in his show, Explorers - The Age of Discovery, at Capitol Theatre. 'Using theatrical techniques, immersive storytelling, and his signature dry humour, James will unravel the breathtaking tales of those who risked everything in pursuit of the unknown,' wrote the show's organiser, Lateral Events, on its Instagram page. On July 2 , May gave a shout-out to his Singapore fans in an Instagram video. 'Hello people of Singapore. I'm very excited to be coming your country with my new live show about exploration,' the 62-year-old said. Referencing lesser known explorers, such as Leif Erikson and John Rowlands, he added: 'If you come along and join me, you can find out all about them.' May made his career debut in 1999 in the original run of BBC's Top Gear and in 2003, went on to co-present a revived version of the series with Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond. The three of them gained a massive following around the world, before Clarkson was dropped from the show for reportedly assaulting a colleague. Following his departure, May and Hammond also left the show. May's most recent television shows include The Grand Tour, which has a similar focus as Top Gear and also features the trio, and a travelogue series titled James May: Our man in ... on Amazon Prime Video. Beyond Singapore, May is also expected to take his live show to Australia and New Zealand. Tickets for his Singapore show are priced between $95 and $175 and are available on the Sistic Singapore website.

Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. Domingo isn't just popping up at weddings this year. 'Saturday Night Live' breakout star Marcello Hernandez — who you may know as the aforementioned homewrecking lothario — recently added new stand-up show dates to his 2025 tour calendar. As of now, he 15 gigs lined up all over the country including four in New York and New Jersey. Advertisement The 27-year-old comic will launch the mini pre-'SNL' season 51 trek with a pair of spots at Port Chester, NY's Capitol Theatre on Thursday, Aug. 14.

These shows come after a huge 'SNL' season 50 for Hernandez where he played recurring characters Grant (half of the 'couple you can't believe is together'), 'Sábado Gigante' host Don Francisco, cabinet member Marco Rubio.
