In this show directed by Kevin Jim, Patrick Golamco combines stand-up comedy and musical performance to share a comedically personal story about his trip to Manila, Philippines, where he intends to have a deep and meaningful conversation with his dying 99-year-old grandmother.
He is also set to share gags about his mother’s reasoning about marriage, failed therapy, and even a cab driver who believed global warming was a hoax.
Pork Adobo is an exploration of culture, family, and emotions – born to Chinese parents who were raised in Manila and later immigrated to Sydney, Australia, Golamco’s performance is an exploration of these three cultures through storytelling.
In 2021, he was the runner-up in the Raw Comedy Competition and performed in Comedy Zone and the Melbourne Comedy Festival Roadshow. He has also performed shows at Perth Fringe World and Adelaide Fringe.
Catch his act at Trades Hall from March 30 until April 23. Grab tickets by heading here.
