It’s bigger, better, and, best of all, it’s back. Rock da Vote, the live political comedy theater event that has made hilarious fun out of the insanity of every election year, returns for its newest edition this 2007 with an important new partner: ABS-CBN’s Sunday variety show Asap.
Asap Live will be producing the 2007 edition of Rock da Vote, which will feature top stand-up comedy stars Jon Santos, Candy Pangilinan, Pooh, John Lapus and special guest Chokoleit and Tessie Tomas.
Considering that these are the top tier of today’s comedians expect a lot of impressions and caricature of the names most recently in the headlines. Jon Santos will bring on his unforgettable impressions of Vilma Santos, Korina Sanchez, James Yap’s alleged mistress Hope and Imelda Marcos. Candy Pangilinan will impersonate Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and Miriam Defensor Santiago. John Lapus gets under the skin of such personalities as Madame Auring, Cory Aquino and Kris Aquino. How new standup star Pooh will, of course, get jokes out of Manny Pacquiao’s current political ambitions. Chokoleit gets to show the funny side of Erap Estrada and Bro. Mike Velarde. And Tessie Tomas revisits her legendary “Meldita” character for several sketches, as well as showing Rock da Vote audiences her impression of Mel Tiangco.
Joel Mercado is Rock da Vote’s head writer.
Rock da Vote will run at the Music Museum on two consecutive Fridays and Saturdays. Tessie Tomas will be the special guest in the April 13 and 14 shows, while Chokoleit will be the special guest on April 20 and 21. Tickets are available at all TicketWorld outlets, as well as through the TicketWorld hotline 891-9999.
On its 15th year, with new editions created for every election year, the Philippines’ best-known live comedy show Rock da Vote is showing no signs of growing older because it gets its comedy mojo fresh from the headlines. What with family drama, new Comelec rules, and controversial new figures making their way into the political arena, expect to see cutting-edge political satire yet again from the country’s top standup comedians.
This time, however, it’s set to be even bigger, with ABS-CBN’s trademark polish behind the entire event.
Performance dates: April 13 - 14; April 20 - 21
Venue: Music Museum, Greenhills, San Juan
Tickets are available at all TicketWorld outlets, as well as through the TicketWorld hotline 891-9999.
