Pinoy Laughfest: 3 stand-up comedians set to conquer New York on Sept. 20
Written by Ms. Confuse on Wednesday, August 13, 2008
Samantha Lopez Productions, Inc. (SLP) will stage its very first production, a comedy festival featuring 3 hugely popular stand-up comedians— Rex Navarrete of Hawaii, Ron Josol of Canada and Air Tabigue of New York, all of Filipino descent on Sept. 20 at the prestigious BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center. The show promises to be a night to remember as the three comedians have prepared fresh material for the demanding New York market.
Navarrete, the most recognizable Filipino stand-up comedian, pushes the envelope in his comedy playing up his Pinoy heritage and has performed the longest among the two other performers.
Josol, a Canadian standout, has a comedy style that is a mix between his inexperience as an Asian in the North American entertainment industry and his personal thoughts about life. Born and raised in Long Island, NY, Tabigue is a fast-rising comedian who makes people laugh with his own wicked New York sense of humor. Behind SLP is Samantha Lopez, a.k.a. GRACIA, a former TVdancer, host /comedienne of the popular noontime show, EAT BULAGA. She now manages a fancy Italian restaurant and upscale shoe store with her husband, Warren Edwards in New York.
Asked about her unique logo I Love Pinoy, Samantha says, “In the city Pinoys have grown to love as much as its own country, it’s time we showcase Pinoy culture served up with a defining New York City twist.”
