69, Emil Amok’s Trump Derangement Syndrome–A Real Journalist Stands Up

Since you last saw him, Emil Amok’s one man show has evolved as the world continues on it’s current path.
“69, Emil Amok: Trump Derangement Syndrome? A Real Newsman Stands Up,” is a fast, fearless, funny one-man show by journalist, humorist, and poet laureate Emil Amok Guillermo. He turns a milestone birthday—and a full-blown case of Trump Derangement Syndrome—into a comic reckoning with aging, politics, race, family, and American absurdity.

He simply is trying to figure out what is going on with the world.

In trying to figure that out, Guillermo addresses headlines and riffs on growing older, life after the newsroom, his immigrant roots, his trans-daughter, and what it means to stay sane (or joyfully deranged) in the Trump era.

Smart, personal, unapologetically political, the show proves that getting older doesn’t mean calming down, especially when democracy is on the line.

The show will leave you literally laughing.
