Emil Amok, 69: Everything’s Flipped

Emil Amok Guillermo—MTC Up the Alley

Heard about the cancellation of Stephen Colbert and need something to help fill the soon to be hole in your heart?

Part storytelling but greater part topical political humour, how you’ll feel about the show depends entirely on your relationship with the main sort of politically liberal, American, late night talk shows. This might not be the best show for me personally, but the jokes landed well, a challenge when reacting to current events. Things really do just keep happening all the time. The personal highlight for me was Emil’s exploration of his family’s history from the Philippines to California, and the relationship that Filipino communities both past and present have with the legacy of Marcos and Duterte.
