James Roque - The Mano Po Tour

Presented by James Roque

The Kiwi-Pinoy Comedy Boy is back and hitting the road for his first-ever world tour with a brand new show, Mano Po.

A ‘mano po’ is a Filipino gesture of respect given to your elders. And for Filipinos, you already know the fear: one day, it’s coming for you.

In 2025, James received his first serious ‘mano po’ request from a teenager which sent him into a spiral. Is he really old enough for this? What if he hasn't done enough with his life? Is this what a mid-life crisis feels like? Should he get a motorcycle? Damn, life comes at you FAST.

A funny and heartfelt new hour about ageing, unpacking your life and the panic of realising you’ve become the adult, whether you’re ready or not.
