Three Filipinas. 1000 internet comments. One traumatized comedian.

Award-winning Filipina storyteller and comedian Monica Ogden sheds light on activism and disability culture, mixed-race identity, and how white feminism is like Lays chips. From Lilang’s immigration, mom’s rise to stardom as Miss Kapuskasing, to Monica’s failed YouTube career, Monica lives in the reality of intergenerational trauma and how it affects the Filipina women who raised her. MONICA VS. THE INTERNET is a multi-media stand-up show that will leave you in tears, both the laughy kind and the heart ones.
