Mike Unson headlines “Mayhem B. Funny” on Tuesdays, from June 5 to July 31, at Johnny B. Good restaurant and bar, level 3, Glorietta 3, Ayala Center, Makati City.
A 15-year veteran of the local stand-up comedy scene, Unson has performed in the biggest stages in the Philippines, Newport Performing Arts Theater (NPAT), Solaire Grand Ballroom, PICC, NBC Tent and Waterfront Hotel Cebu Grand Ballroom. He has shared the stage with comic Rob Schneider, best-selling author and humorist David Sedaris and Filipino-American Rex Navarette.
Currently, Unson is one of the featured comedians on iFlix’s series Hoy Bibig Mo, where he performed in the first episode of the first season. Unson is known for building up comic rhythm with impeccably time punchlines and thought-provoking insights, leaving the audience in stitches and wanting for more.
Unson and his brand of point of view stand-up comedy puts emphasis on everyone’s head-scratching, cringe-worthy or even absurd life experiences. His arsenal of wholesome jokes includes his views on urban life, childhood memories, relationships and interactions with everyday people as he dishes out his original material on annoying encounters with cab and jeepney drivers; street vendors; mall security guards; (un)talented bands; his childhood nanny; dealing with middle child syndrome; being in the friend zone, breakups and many more relatable true to life situations.
Also performing is Unson’s Comedy Mayhem troupe consisting of Ruther Urquia, a ventriloquist; standup comedians Eric Salazar, Sergio Belarus, Korte Supremo, Edward Chico; and spoken-word artist Jerome Cleofas, PhD.
