Dates: 25 Nov 2026 · 7pm to about 8.30pm
Atsuko Okatsuka, the bowl-cut comedian behind the HBO special The Intruder and the Hulu special Father, plays The Star Theatre on Wednesday 25 November 2026. It’s part of Just For Laughs Singapore, and The Star calls it her biggest show here to date. Expect silly physical comedy and stories about her family.

Why go?
Her style is hard to describe and easy to love: deadpan stories about her family, then sudden physical bits that clips online can’t quite capture.
The 7pm start is early for a comedy night, so it works on a work night and leaves time for a late dinner afterwards.
The cheapest S$98 tier is a restricted-view seat, so you can choose to pay less if a pillar or angle doesn’t bother you.
What to do
01 · The show
The Big Bowl Tour follows Father, her second special, which premiered on Hulu and internationally on Disney+. Her first special, The Intruder on HBO, won a Gracie Award and was named the best debut special of 2022 by The New York Times. Her previous tour, Full Grown, sold out more than 200 shows. Some fans turn up in bowl-cut wigs, so feel free to join them.
02 · Choosing seats
Standard seats are S$168, S$148, S$128 and S$98. Box A and C seats are S$168, and restricted-view seats are sold at S$148, S$128 and S$98. Our tip: if you want to see her facial expressions and physical comedy, it’s worth paying more for a seat nearer the stage than in the upper circle. You can buy up to 8 tickets per transaction.
03 · Before and after
The Star Vista mall below the theatre has casual restaurants and cafés for a quick dinner before the 7pm start. Because the show finishes early, Holland Village is a short taxi ride away for drinks afterwards, and the MRT will still be running.
