Whether he’s trying to gain the approval of the man that he comes from or looking to show a complete stranger the time of their life, all he wants to do is have his music and material deliver a performance that you’ll never stop rooting for.
Musically gifted and hilarious talented, JR De Guzman puts both skills on full display with his debut comedy special I’m Your Son, Papa.
Filmed live in the vibrant city of Las Vegas, NV, JR shares and sings the true stories of his Filipino-American upbringing, filled with laughter, love, and the complexities of family life.
From R&B songs about Asian masculinity and representation to smooth, sultry songs about division in America, this special will not only heal your heart with laughter but also heal the world (JR wrote this part and demanded that it stay in the description).
