Vice Ganda Touches Down in London with Darren—Excitement, Food Tales, and a Birthday Surprise for Ogie Alcasid

London, September 2025 — Asia’s “Unkabogable” superstar, Vice Ganda, has landed in the UK capital, and the Filipino entertainment community couldn’t be more thrilled. The comedic icon is in London alongside co-host Darren Espanto, stirring excitement among fans with glimpses of travel fun, snarky humor on living costs, and even a warm birthday shoutout for longtime industry friend Ogie Alcasid.

Jetting into London with Energy and Humor

Arriving for the much-anticipated “ASAP in England” show at the BP Pulse Arena, Vice Ganda and Darren have already brightened social feeds. But even abroad, Vice couldn’t resist a side of comedy mixed with social commentary.

In a story shared online, Vice remarked how expensive London can be. The duo started saving money by cooking in their Airbnb—touting a breakfast of rice, eggs, ham, hotdogs, and even reheating adobo. On day three, Vice couldn’t resist snark:

“It’s our third day reheating leftover adobo, and suddenly I remembered the millions in taxes being split by shameless thieves. Ouch!!!”

His take on thrifty living abroad struck a chord—especially as public attention is on corruption investigations, stirring empathy for those who feel ripped off by poor governance.

Star-Studded Reunion: Darren by His Side

Vice’s trip wasn’t just for saving a few pounds—it’s about performance and friendship. Deputizing him in London is none other than Darren Espanto—talented singer, close ally, and fellow ASAP family member. Fans are savoring every photo, post, and cheeky caption as the pair navigate London’s sights, sounds, and culinary quirks together.

Birthday Cheers from Abroad

Even amid travel and performance prep, Vice made sure to celebrate another star’s milestone: Ogie Alcasid. Known for their close bond, Vice’s social media updates brought a surprise touch of camaraderie across continents.

Ogie’s recent birthday bash, described by attendees as “truly epic,” included fellow hosts like Anne Curtis, Vhong Navarro, Teddy Corpuz, Kim Chiu, Darren Espanto, and more. The celebration’s warmth and Vice’s timely shoutout reinforce the strong bonds behind the glitzy lights.
