Oh, it’s on! Sharpen your mime claws the first ever Coconuts Hong Kong LIP SYNC BATTLE

What’s the hottest thing breaking TV and the internet right now? Spike TV’s “Lip Sync Battle” show from the US of A, of course!

C’mon, Anne Hathaway’s “Wrecking Ball” has been clogging up your Facebook feed even more than us, right?
 

And since Coconuts Hong Kong is a leader in all things #trending near or far, we thought it was high time we brought such a sensation to our city.

On Wednesday May 27, we’re joining forces with The Volume Boyz to bring some show-stopping, jaw-dropping, lyric-flopping insanity to Sheung Wan for a one-night-only death match with YOUR name on it!

OK… so that’s a figurative death, not a literal one. But you cool cats knew that already.

So get your hot ass on over to Volume BEAT between 9pm-10pm and register for your chance to duke it out with other shameless show ponies for the COCONUTS HONG KONG LIP SYNC BATTLE CUP! 

You can perform solo, as a duo or group, or just come as a spectator to cheer on the contenders and help choose the victor.

The winner(s) will also get a special mini-interview feature story on Coconuts Hong Kong, where you can tell the whole world what a fierce and fabulous famewhore you are!

There are more than 5,000 English and Chinese pop, rock, dance and love songs to pick from, and there’ll be a big screen with the lyrics on for those who don’t already know their lip sync songs of by heart (as if!).

The event will be hosted by Drag Queen Superstar Miss CLEO MOANS and Coconuts Managing Editor CRYSTAL WILDE, the latter of whom is preparing to be well and truly outclassed and out-sassed. 

The winner will be decided by audience vote, so bring all your mates to cheer you on!

Here’s a few tips to help you hone your act. (Apply or try if you dare):

1. Fancy Dress Costumes

2. Props

3. Backing Dancers/Singers (aka drunk mates)

4. Tequila shots/Dutch Courage

5. Underwear (or lack thereof?)

6. Twerking 

7. Bribery

8. Office Tag-Teams

9. Stripper Poles (there are two in the venue for your battling pleasure)

The possibilities are endless!

But most of all, remember: this is meant to be a just-for-fun, silly night out with your besties, colleagues and loved ones…. so all levels of skill and experience are welcomed and encouraged. 

This is a safe, inclusive, supportive, ‘mixed’ event (gay, straight, bi, gorilla, Coconaut etc)… so it’s open to everyone who has a sense of adventure, fun and a hidden lust for the spotlight…. as well as a love for Coconuts Hong Kong, of course.

And it’s FREE ENTRY… so start putting together your battle teams, and may the best syncer succeed!!
