His ability to find humor in the everyday has made him a favorite among audiences from all walks of life.

His rise to prominence came after winning Last Comic Standing in 2010, propelling him onto the national stage. Since then, he has released several acclaimed comedy specials, including They’re Not Gonna Laugh at You (2012), Translate This (2017), and Bad Decisions (2020) (aka Malas Decisiones), which made history as a bilingual Netflix special performed as separate English and Spanish versions.
