Richie Koh has secured the 'Bright Star Award' in Chicago, a city known for deep-dish pizzas and not knowing where the fuck Singapore is.

The accolade celebrates Koh’s 'high potential,' which is industry-speak for 'someone who might actually have talent if he stops filming 150-episode dramas about fishball noodles.'

By playing a drag queen, Koh has proven that the only way to get a Mediacorp actor to show any emotion is to put them in six-inch heels.

“Siao eh, he win award overseas but still must come back film Caldecott Hill rubbish,” noted one bitter veteran.

Meanwhile, Koh’s mother is still asking when he’s going to get a real job in banking.
