Komedya Curators for FPAC 2020 is Filipino AF
Filipino AF is a comedy variety show featuring the best Filipino American talent around. Improv, sketch, standup, and even some music and dance. (It's Filipinos after all!) The show started in Los Angeles in October of 2017,
and we have been lucky enough to bring it to San Francisco and Hawaii as well.
Being able to be part of this year's festival is an honor because even though it feels like we are all separated from each other,
we are still connected through our culture.

Born in the Philippines and raised in California, JR De Guzman began performing comedy while working as a music teacher, which he quickly learned just meant teaching Taylor Swift songs to teenagers. JR serenades the audience into laughter with songs, jokes, and stories of traveling the world, living as a dual citizen, and growing up in a Filipino family. You can catch his quarter hour Netflix special on "The Comedy Lineup," and catch him on Comedy Central's Kevin Hart Presents: Hart of the City . Also, check out his debut album "Dual Citizen" which debuted #1 on iTunes and Billboard.
J.R's participation in this year's 27th Festival of Philippine Arts and Culture is graciously made possible by: |
Rex Navarrete remains to be a one of the hardest working, relatively unknown American comedians today though he’s performed alongside notable national headliners as George Lopez, Russell Peters, Ali Wong, among others over the past three decades. He does plan to release many more comedy albums on CD and live DVDs under his label for fans to enjoy. His most popular DVD, "Badass Madapaka", was filmed in front of a sold-out crowd at the Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles. Currently he travels internationally throughout Asia, Europe, Australia, Canada and for the US Armed Forces bringing his brand of "Pinoy" humor to a wider audience. You may have seen him on "Lopez Tonight", "Live at Gotham", "MyxTV" and "MTV Philippines". Most recently, he launched his new podcast available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, “The Flip Chronicles”, where he sits down with notable and not yet discovered Filipinos from around the globe in conversation. The future seems to only give him the chance to connect with a larger audience that is now finally getting the opportunity to experience the changing face of American stand-up comedy.
