A Comedy, Survival/Hybrid Filipino Show

A Comedy, Survival/Hybrid Filipino Show
Thursday 31st August on Prime Video will premiere Comedy Island Philippines, produced by Amazon Studio in collaboration with BASE Entertainment Asia. The show is an interesting hybrid between scripted and unscripted and two different genres, comedy and adventure/survival.
7 Filipino comedians, actors and social media celebrities embark on a hilarious adventure when they are washed upon the shore of the mysterious Tawa-Tawa Island, which resurfaces after 100 years to commence the fictional “Centennial Games.”
They soon find themselves competitors in these games, and must improvise to survive and escape the island. Pitted against each other in unscripted improvisational scenarios, the celebrities pull out all stops to bring laughter and entertainment to the island’s citizens, in order to win the most votes and a chance to go back home.
It’s difficult to judge this series from the synopsis and the trailers online (that are anyway quite funny), but it seems a courageous and ambitious format, out of the usual patterns seen over and over again hundreds of times.
