Ep.19: Getting Fringey! Emil's "Amok Monologues" at the San Diego International Fringe Festival 0

Jun 29, 2017

I'm on the road, but I can still podcast.

My "Amok Monologues" are at the San Diego International Fringe Festival.

Get your tickets for the final show Thursday, the 29th at 10:30pm. ( I know, last minute, but then I'm less self-absorbed than normal).

Or buy a ticket and I will send you an audio of the show! Just $10!

Got a great review too. "Excellent," says the San Diego Story arts journal.

READ THE WHOLE REVIEW HERE

I talk about my show, others' shows, my niece the survivor, and how the Fringe has brought us together after more than 20 years. Still time to see some great shows. There's acrobatics/circus style dance shows. Solo performances. One Acts. The fringe has it all.

I've also enjoyed detoxing from the news. I haven't seen cable news TV for more than ten days. I don't miss Wolf Blitzer. I like him. But I am happy to have not seen him for 2 hours a day lately.

I talk about the news hits I've absorbed, like a short Vincent Chin post mortem, and the victory of the Slants, both which I will revisit with interviews next week.

But the show's the thing here, the "Amok Monologues." Invite me to your city, town, college, office, church group, Filipino dance club, whatever.
