What’s up, madlang pipol?! Winnipeg was once again on a wild ride last Tuesday, April 18, when the Unkabogable Vice Ganda brought the house down with her VGful Canada and USA Concert 2023. Presented by Pinoy Tribe Entertainment, the concert brought the audience on the edge of their seats with the powerful song and dance performances and hilarious stand up comedy of Vice Ganda. Despite a controversial show in Edmonton where her hair was pulled by unruly audience members, Vice shook it off and brought her signature brand of humor to Winnipeg, leaving the 1800-strong crowd in stitches. Joined by Asia’s Pop Heartthrob, Darren Espanto, and fellow comedians MC and Lassy, Vice proved once again why she is the reigning queen of comedy in the Philippines and beyond.

GV (Good Vibes) only at VGful concert

Vice Ganda just finished her Canada concert tour as part of VGful Canada and USA Tour 2023 and boy, did she bring the house down in Winnipeg last April 18th, a night to remember, filled with singing, dancing, and stand-up comedy that everyone missed since the unkabogable star’s last visit in 2018.

Presented by StarMedia Entertainment and brought to Manitobans by Pinoy Tribe Entertainment headed by Marby Aguilar, the event was held at the RBC Convention Centre, and attended by 1800 people, making the venue packed with excitement.

Local Winnipeg bands, On the Que, Soundcheck Music with Sher Policarpio, and Quarter 2 Band with Keesa Arguill ,kicked off the show with their amazing performances, setting the mood for the audience that even went wild when Vice Ganda came out in her flamboyant outfit .Vice invited guests on stage and was thrilled with the love and energy of the audience, saying that they upstaged her horsepower level!

Vice mentioned in passing about the hair-pulling incident at her Edmonton show, but she believed it wouldn’t happen in Winnipeg because Winnipeggers love her. The audience screamed their agreement!

Adding to the already power-packed performance were special guests, Asia’s Pop Heartthrob Darren Espanto who totally killed it with his amazing performance and had all the ladies going wild. Comedians MC and Lassy’s wisecracking with Vice were hilarious. It was a night of pure entertainment and laughter that Winnipeggers won’t soon forget!
