Featuring original footage, film memorabilia, posters, and interviews with notable figures such as Mrs. Wang Sha, Jack Neo, and Robert Chua, the film traces the duo’s illustrious career, bringing laughter to countless Singaporeans. This collaborative production between SCCC and Mediacorp celebrates the iconic pair’s contributions, aiming to revive cherished memories for older audiences and introduce younger generations to these comedic legends who shaped Singapore’s entertainment scene.
Complementing the documentary is a four-month special exhibition, Legends of Singapore Comedy: An Exhibition on Wang Sha & Ye Feng, held at SCCC from 6 July to 5 November 2024.
