The Amok Monologues are my stories told live taken from the columns I’ve written and my experiences as a an American Filipino growing up in the U.S., and working in the media.

It’s funny, tragic, provocative personal history.

An American Filipino story.

Come and by and go “Amok.” And if you can’t make it, contact me and I’ll bring it to your city!
