When youre a British Asian walking the tightrope of two cultures
its not uncommon to become tipsy and lose your balance
especially if youre Punjabi! So when a British Sikh actor
becomes trapped between acting on stage and acting a good little
Asian boy, he seeks comfort from a variety of zany Sikhs in
the City to make sense of a cultural cocktail thats
sipped by the British and drunk in gallons by Punjabis.

Can
the regimental granddad, his sweetly tyrant wife, the psychopathic
schoolteacher, the Sikh punk-rocker, the medallion brother, the
money mad uncle, the Singhsons family and the owner of the Turban
Emporium prove that hes not the Weakest Singh
after all?
