THEATRE + COMEDY

The Improv Comedy Showcase and Restaurant presents Felipe Esparza:  Live & Uncut. The Last Comic Standing 2010 Winner One Night Only!

Felipe Esparza is a comedian and actor, best known for his raw, real-life comedy that audiences everywhere can relate to. Recognized by his wild hair and his often-imitated phrase, "What's up, fool?," people are always surprised to find out that Felipe is also the same person referred to, and imitated, in several infamous onstage stories by fellow comedian, Gabriel Iglesias.

Felipe is a product of the streets of East Los Angeles (Boyle Heights, to be exact). There is no subject that Felipe can't lampoon. He could stand on a stage without a single joke and make people laugh -- but that wouldn't happen. Felipe is one of the best comedy writers in the business.

Felipe is one of many comedians that got immediate television exposure when he appeared on a Showtime "Diamonds in the Rough" segment, shortly into his stand-up career. Since that time, he has appeared on numerous television shows, including Comedy Central's "Premium Blend," ABC's "Comics Unleashed," Showtime's "Comics Without Borders," BET's "Comic View" and "One Mic Stand," and Galavision's "Que Locos" (where he holds the title of most appearances by any comedian).

Recently, he appeared in his first feature-length film, "The Deported," with Nick Turturro, Talia Shire and Paul Rodriguez, and wrapped filming of a feature-length film based on his stand-up comedy called, "I'm Not Like That No More," where he stars opposite Paul Rodriguez.

And did we mention he just won LAST COMIC STANDING? If you've never seen Felipe Esparza LIVE & UNCUT at the greatest comedy club in the Gulf Coast, the Houston IMPROV, then you've never seen Felipe!
