Special thank you to the cast and crew of "Alyas Dodong Guwapo" for giving my parents the inspiration to give me a name that I'm proud to have.

Fantastic story telling! You have a great way of constructing your set. Loved every moment. Keep it up Badong!
What a wonderful show. BADONG!
It took me until my 30s to learn how to love the little kid version of me, after realizing that I had protected myself to survive through hating, rejecting, blaming her- believing she was shit, _she_ was the problem, because that was what made sense, that’s all I ever learned growing up. It was easier to believe that they were right. I felt all this pain and anger and it had her face, I blamed her for being the one that gave it to me it, hated her for letting it happen. I thought if I could get rid of her I could be stronger, more lovable, better. I was just so desperate not to _be_ her anymore, not to _feel_ that fire in my throat, that tsunami at my back that scared me because I always felt like if it got out, it would take me and everyone around me under.
I wasn’t wrong about the fire tsunami.
I struggled a lot in my twenties. I figured some things out around 30, and constantly since, that have been vital in accepting, loving and being my authentic and best self. I still feel things too strongly, and I wrestle with self cruelty all the time. But I’ve come so far, I’ve really made progress, (huge parts due to painting while listening to audiobooks like the 4 agreements and the war of art) and I can count everything back to a starting point: the day that I forgave, accepted, and embraced the child version of myself. I realized that she -was- *is* worthy of love, and respect, and happiness. I am still working on believing that she -was- *is* a valid human being. And so it goes.
This reminded me of that. I wish I had a name to call her- I grew up in a Filipino household for many years but I don’t think I ever got a cool nickname. 🤷🏼♀️
BADONG! Love yourself, you are amazing, this was truly beautiful. I’m not crying you’re crying
This is by far the best stand up special by a Pinoy from NZ named Badong that I've ever seen! Love your work man! 👏👏👏👏👏
I’ll take it! 😂
@@roquecomedy wow he replied!!
Not just a comedy show. It was aTED Talk!
Indeed!
He even makes a bowl cut look fly. This dude never fails to murder on the mic!
As a Malaysian watching this, you're making me laugh my ass off at that part where you talk about the segment where u have to act as the king of Malaysia😂😂
Kudos to u, James! You did really well❤ Please do come visit and do a show at Malaysia too
Phew! I’m glad to hear I didn’t offend the whole country 😂😂😂
@@roquecomedy it tickles me that I cannot find one comment about ‘white face’ Ha ha ha. That was the first thing I noticed, and I couldn’t even get a good look at your costumes because my eyes kept going back to the ultra light face make up. Genius.
This too awesome bro!! Glad you released this. ❤

Fantastic show! Congrats
Nailed it!!!!!❤
This was so great!! I saw on instagram that you're in Toronto now, if you ever come out west to Vancouver I hope you post a lot about it so I can go see your show ! Awesome stuff dude
World class comedy. I grew up in Auckland and was the token white kid in a group called 'The Asians'. In high school, I'd get made fun off for my white person lunch alongside other white person things. I was so jealous of my friends with their noodles and rice and felt very self-conscious eating my peanut butter sandwich lmao. Thank you so much for sharing your story
Man, that was fucking beautiful. Salamat, Badongski.
That was awesome mate. 👏👏
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Nice set! Hope you come to LA sometime soon!!
One day! Keep an eye out (or sub to my mailing list/social media to find out when I finally do!) 👊🏽🇵🇭
Most of the best comedy bits are experiences, told in a comedic perspective. Good bits, Badong!!!👍😁
The English language idiom example was clear and an excellent story telling technique!
Excellent ! Proud of you Kabayan ! More power Badong !
Thank you! ✌🏽
Amazing and beautiful set. Even if there weren’t any badonkadonk puns. And so happy i watched to the end - worth it.
This is not a comedy. This is pep talk. Your motivational speech inspires me to be proud of my accent who just moved here in NZ since Dec. 2023. Hope we will meet you in person.
Badong you’re on 🔥🔥🔥😅😅😅
Inspirational!
Nice one Badong ❤
Solid set! Perfect ending idol!
My older sister her real name is Robyn, but in our family her nickname is Bujoi, apparently Bujoi is a character from I think it’s a movie or a tv show, and we just can’t find that show or movie wherever Bujoi came from
Galing!😅❤ tnx for the laugh. Great work!
thank you! :)
Hi kuya james! aka badong, i find your videos very interesting and fr i watched it first time in tiktok and y'know t'was only a short clip so i managed to find it here in yt hahaha.
The last part was so funny 🤣🤣🤣
THIS IS SO FUNNY. 😭 METHINKS YOU DESERVE A BIGGER CROWD (A MORE ENGAGING CROWD) BUT THIS IS SO FUNNY THE STORY IS SO RANDOOOOM LMAO 😭😭😭❤️
never had seen a performance like this, very unique, using a projector and sound effects.. impressive...
This is the best stand up comedy that ive ever seen in my entire life love your work man really enjoyed it.🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it!! Thanks for watching
@@roquecomedy your welcome and btw I'm elijah paul but call me eli nice to meet you
Really well done;the Outro skit and photo diary were surprisingly charming. And, Oh my gosh, I don’t pay much attention to the credits nowadays because I’m too busy multitasking other things but I knew that there was something important in yours and so I spent a good 10 minutes scrolling back and forth thru the timeline on my tiny tablet and angrily cursing my big 6’1” Amazon girl hands for the poorly orchestrated fat-fingering. (Of course I know I should not be so hard on myself. My hands are perfect at basketballs, hockey sticks, steering wheels, boxing rings, and power tools lol.) well, I’m glad that I did follow my instincts and I was pleasantly surprised by your closing credits. Is there a very clever and heartwarming at the same time? Thank you for the smiles in my otherwise movie of the week horror story type life.
Looking forward to the next special
LOVE IT! cheers from "kulit" here in PH !
Salamat Kulit!!
Tiktok brought me here. I love the show. The ending was epic! :)
Hi James! You gained a new fan here :) BTW, why don't you consider changing all your social media names to BADONG? Naisip ko lang hehe.
Hell yeah
Funny and cute 😂😂😂
Dude my real name is Lester and my nickname is Banong and I used to live in Auckland.
Man, this Ted Talk type of comedy special is awesome.
Proud to be Asian. Proud to be Pinoy.
I saw some clips of this on TikTok! Glad that I saw the whole performance here! Salamat Badong!
Filipinos love basketball and im full filo but when i send this coment i am 11 yr old and im 5’8 its crazy already in average adult size around the world

Balong
