James Roque: MANO PO at Angel Comedy @ The Bill Murray, London on Thu, Oct 8, 7:00 PM. Tickets from $19.83. Lineup, start time and tickets on Ckord.
Getting older can be confronting. Especially when your culture can't stop reminding you. In Filipino tradition, a mano po is a gesture where an elder places their hand on a younger person’s forehead to offer a blessing. It’s a sweet, respectful custom… unless you’re the one suddenly expected to be the “elder.” In 2025, award winning Filipino-Kiwi comedian James Roque received his first request for a 'mano po' from a teenager, which sent him spiralling into a full blown existential crisis. Has he really done all he can to earn the right to give a "mano po"? A show about wrestling with getting older, finding solace from unexpected places and the funny stories that happen along the way. A new hour from the Kiwi-Pinoy Comedy Boy, served with his signature sweet-and-salty storytelling.
