ATLANTIC CITY— The Philippines’ longest running noontime game show is coming to Atlantic City. Eat Bulaga!, an award- winning Filipino variety show, will celebrate 30 years of entertainment with a special live performance April 4, 2009, Saturday, in Boardwalk Hall’s arena. Tickets are $95, $75, $55, and $35, and go on sale Saturday, December 6, at 12 noon. The show is presented by First Name Entertainment Production.
Making their first appearance in Atlantic City, the live engagement will feature the iconic trio of Tito and Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon. They will be accompanied by several of the shows’ talented entertainers including Pia Guanio, Allan K, Jimmy Santos, Pauleen Luna, Lougee, Michael V, Wally Bayola, Jose Manalo, and others.
Fans will be treated to many of the gameshow’s signature segments such as Taktak Mo or Tatakbo, Sa Pula Sa Puti, and Ang Joke Ko. Some lucky contestants will also win prizes during the performance.
Eat Bulaga! premiered in July 1979 on the Radio Philippines Network in Quezon City, Philippines. Since then the popular daytime variety show has become a launch pad for many of the Philippines’ biggest stars—most notably the engaging comic troika of Tito and Vic Sotto and Joey de Leon. Once considered pioneers in the business, the charming threesome is considered an integral part of the show’s continued success and has amassed a huge following in the nearly 30 years they have hosted the show. Other discovered stars include Aiza Seguerra, Jessa Zaragoza, Donna Cruz, Allan K, Danilo Barrios, and now the phenomenal Sex Bomb Girls.
Tickets $95, $75, $55, and $35 available now, please call: 917.294.6783 / 914.498.25.10 / 201.886.1705; online tickets at Ticketmaster or Boardwalk Hall at 1.800.736.1420. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Philippine American Group of Educators and Surgeons (PAGES), a group of doctors dedicated to helping the underprivileged children of the Philippines.
