Big Queer Filipino Karaoke Night! is a Clown-Drag-Karaoke Extravaganza, serving up Filipino-Canadian identity shenanigans, queer insights, family epiphanies, and soul gratifying karaoke! Inspired by Vancouver theatre darling Davey Calderon’s visit to his family’s ancestral land, the Philippines, this show is a celebration of the intersections found in oneself.
