I performed at Filipinx Actors Barkada's first in-person live variety show, "Barkada FABaret" on Saturday, November 19, 2022 at the Roguelike Tavern in Burbank, California. It was comprised with actors, singers, comedians and more. 

This was my third show with FAB since "Pinoy Joy!" and "Halo Halo-ween" - both shows (along with "A Night of Joy!") were presented virtually.

The last time I performed in front of a live audience was in two sketches written by Jonathan Grant, and with performers Andy Wagner, Brian Rubinow, Michael M. Soldati, Jodi Jett, Kerry Michelle Smith, Steve Saunders, Erica Fortes, Kimberly Truong and Chelsea St. James of the Polyphilos Trismegistos team at "Smut's Dirty Little Secret" show at UCB Sunset in 2015.

​Below are photos from last Saturday's show.
