What happens when a lifelong journalist stops chasing headlines and starts chasing his own life? In Emil Amok, 69: Less News, More Life, American Book Award-winning writer and former NPR host Emil Amok Guillermo delivers a hilarious and heartfelt one-man show about identity, family and the cost of living in a 24/7 news cycle.

69, Emil Amok: Less News, More Life. The Headlines Got Loud, So He Got Personal.

Emil Amok Productions—aceartinc.

One part political late-night stand up and another part personal life story of the son of two immigrants from the Philippines and his career in media bringing him all the way to the Winnipeg Fringe.

At the end of the day the humour and politics are within the sphere of your Kimmel’s, Colbert’s and Fallon’s, so if you’re a fan of those the show comes recommended and if you can’t stand them then this is one to avoid. Emil’s strong admiration of Canada also comes through, which is another good barometer depending on if you find that sort of thing engaging or grating.
