Ever met a lawyer who could actually make you laugh?
We haven’t until recently.
Atty. Edward Chico has been slowly making a name for himself hosting the radio show “Tanggol Karapatan” in Radyo Veritas.
A law professor, bar lecturer, and consultant for various government agencies, Atty. Chico also appears on TV as legal expert.
As accomplished as he is, Atty. Chico is into something different of late – comedy.
He explained, “I feel good making people laugh. It is far removed from what I normally do as a lawyer.”
He has been at it for a few years now, joining other like-minded people.
Atty. Chico is co-founder of Insanithink, a comedy troupe known for its unique brand of thinking comedy.
He is also part of Comedy Cartel, a pioneering point-of-view stand-up comedy group.
So far, so good.
“I have been gigging as stand-up comic in various clubs across Manila and thankfully, many appreciate it,” he shared, noting how his recent shows have all sold out.
It was in one of these shows that he caught the attention of Viva Artists Agency.
“I was surprised actually when they asked if I wanted to sign as a Viva talent,” he said. “I thought they were interested in me because of my good looks (laughs). Kidding aside, I’m happy, excited. Hopefully this would lead to something big.”
Atty. Chico is hoping to do a special on Netflix, ala Jo Koy.
“Well, we can all dream, right? Netflix would be nice if ever, because it would allow me to reach out to more people.”
