GB’s Got Game
Here’s another Pinoy standup comedian that is rising through the comedy scene pretty fast – GB Labrador, another member of the hilarious stand up comedy group called the Comedy Cartel.
I found this video on the Vimeo account of Tim Tayag, also from the Comedy Cartel group.
I’ve watched GB plenty of times and I know he’s done gigs locally, in the States, and lately he’s been a regular in the Singapore comedy scene of Comedy Masala. This guy is definitely going places and it will just be a matter of time before he becomes a household name in the comedy industry. This video is one of my favorite bits of his. I hope you enjoy it as well.

This is an inspirational video for wannabe comedians or old comedians who are in a depressing stump. Hope it helps.
John Dore Standup
Hey guys, I found this stand up guy hilarious. He kind of reminds me of Dane Cook, who I’m not really a fan of, except John to me is funnier. But that’s just my opinion. What do you think?
Noynoy on Comedy Bar
http://www.pinoypride.net/video/97814/Comedy-Bar-Mar-12-P4
Sorry I couldn’t get an embedded video on this one. But the link works.
Noel Gascon, a member of the Filipino stand up comedy group Comedy Cartel, hits Allan K’s Comedy Bar once again, but this time he is Noynoy with his 2 bodyguards who kinda look familiar. That wouldn’t be GB Labrador and Richie Fernandez, would it? I mean Noynoy would have the budget to at least hire character bodyguards for this performance right? Anyway, I hope you enjoy this bit. I found it too short. He should make another appearance on that show.
Heard of Nikki Limo?
WARNING: ADULT LANGUAGE USED IN THIS CLIP
I was surfing around Youtube when I found this video of a female comedienne by the name of Nikki Limo. I’m not sure but I think she is half Filipina. Have you heard of her? Apparently she made a cameo on the new 90210 series. I watched this clip of hers and she’s not bad. Of course, it helps that she’s good looking. I would make a guess that she’s probably been doing stand up for 2 to 3 years, judging from the level of her performance. She reminds me a lot of Olivia Munn of the Attack of the Show.
Anyway, good for Nikki. I hope she attains more success. Tell me what you think. Her set is a bit raunchy, though. You’ve been warned.
Kevin Camia’s Kindness
Kindness
I mentioned Kevin Camia before in a previous post and luckily I was able to listen to his latest album called Kindness. I like Kevin’s style because he’s just funny without resorting to the typical Filipino accent punch line that a lot of Filipino American comics substitute for good writing. Frankly, I’ve heard one too many of those routines where the comedian shows how hilarious his parents sound because they have a fobbish Pilipino accent that switches the p’s and f’s and v’s and b’s. Come on, enough already! I get it, Pinoys talk funny. Here’s a litmus test: take away the accent and the act just isn’t funny. And what’s sad is unsophisticated audiences who are just hungry for Pinoy comedy just eat this up without realizing it’s a hack.
Not Kevin’s act. You can tell Kevin is a good writer and has done a lot of gigs beyond those Filipino fiestas where they ask performers to do it for free. He makes use of a lot of misdirections and just when you thought you knew where he was going, he changes it up with some absurd sh*t. It’s like a misdirection within a misdirection. That’s what cracks me up. Things like:
I was raised up in Sta. Rosa… all I did was hang out with white kids coz that’s all there was. I would end up doing crazy white shit… like hang out in creeks… we played these staring contests, we’d stare at each other and you couldn’t blink your eyes at all then we’d take these ferns from a tree and pull our pants down… and just tickles our balls – crazy white shit. Remember that game, bro?
What I like is the fact that Kev is funny first before anything else. It’s what I always believed in as a Filipino comedian myself. I would rather just be a funny guy who happens to be Filipino. So throughout the cd, you don’t have to be a Filipino to get his humor. Kindness is universal, and so is Kevin’s comedy.
