James Roque: The Mano Po Tour
Advertisement
The Kiwi-Pinoy Comedy Boy is back, and hitting the road for his first-ever world tour with a brand new show, Mano Po.
A ‘mano po’ is a Filipino gesture of respect given to your elders. And for Filipinos, you already know the fear: one day, it’s coming for you.
In 2025, James received his first serious ‘mano po’ request from a teenager which sent him into a spiral. Is he really old enough for this? What if he hasn't done enough with his life? Is this what a mid-life crisis feels like? Should he get a motorcycle? Damn, life comes at you FAST.
A funny and heartfelt new hour about ageing, unpacking your life and the panic of realising you’ve become the adult... whether you’re ready or not.
