It’s a storytelling show about three generations of Asian American Filipino life, from 1898 to the present.

“Unleashes a stream of consciousness about current events, personal history…Underscores what it’s like to live in the cross-hairs of American politics, past and present. There are smart, discomforting punchlines throughout.” WINNIPEG FREE-PRESS

“Meaningful insights into the Filipino American experience, and his rapid fire delivery was sincere, professional and polished.” EDMONTON JOURNAL

WHAT PEOPLE SAID ON REVIEWS.FRINGETHEATRE.CA

“Unexpectedly hilarious, dark, engaging. Chaotic elements make sense with chaos in USA…MUST SEE.”

“A compelling presence, a strong voice, and a knack for weavng anecdotes into a larger reflection on identity. He kept the pace up for the whole show–a feat in solo performance.”

Other critics on Emil Amok’s monologues:

“Comical often profound observations.” MANHATTAN DIGEST

“Standup, monologue, rant? Enjoy keeping pace with Guillermo’s brilliant mind…Funny, poignant.” ORLANDO WEEKLY
