CARLOS MENCIA
From Comedy Central's Mind Of Mencia "Our Family Wedding" "Heartbreak Kid"

Carlos Mencia, superstar/stand-up comedian, is undoubtedly one of today’s most lauded entertainers and feared comics. Whether it is man-on-the-street interviews, studio comedy, commercial parodies, or nationwide sold-out tours, Mencia demonstrates an extraordinary ability to connect with a diverse audience. Carlos connected again with a film audience with the recent Fox Searchlight feature release “Our Family Wedding” starring opposite Forrest Whitaker. Mencia was named "International Comedy Grand Champion" from Buscando Estrellas (the Latino version of Star Search). This led to appearances on “In Living Color,” “The Arsenio Hall Show,” “Moesha” and “An Evening at the Improv.” Mencia continued his journey up the comedy ladder by headlining “The Three Amigos” tour with Freddy Soto and Pablo which sold out in record time around the US. After the success of his solo dvd, “Carlos Mencia: Not For The Easily Offended,” “Mind of Mencia” went into development. The show was an instant hit. Wrapping five seasons later, the show was one of the strongest shows in the network’s history. In fall 2007, Mencia starred opposite Ben Stiller in the Farrelly Brothers’ hit feature film, “The Heartbreak Kid. In December 2007, Mencia embarked on his first USO Tour to the Persian Gulf where he entertained the troops serving over seas. Mencia recently returned from his second trip to Kuwait after hosting “Operation Myspace,” an exclusive concert for American Troops in the Middle East alongside Jessica Simpson and The Pussycat Dolls. Carlos is doing a national club run in preparation for the taping of his next comedy special this summer.
