PLEASE NOTE: This show will be performed entirely in Spanish.
A standup comedian and actor, born in Mexico City in 1990. I grew up in Chicoloapan, a town in the metropolitan area, and I studied acting. My artistic career began as a voice actor and the first time I performed at an Open Mic was in 2012. Then I started wearing glasses for fear of looking at the audience in the eye, this has become my signature look.

Shuler King
Comedian Shuler King was born Frank Williams III in Sumter, South Carolina. He knew at an early age that he was destined to be an entertainer especially since he was the kid known for cracking jokes. King grew up in a traditional 2-parent household in the Bible Belt of the South, where Faith, Hard Work and Education were the foundations of what his parents imparted on him and his two siblings. Comedy is his passion, but he has taken a rather unusual path to get to where he is thus far. He graduated from the University of South Carolina with a B.A. in Media Arts where he joined The Mighty Illustrious Zeta Zeta Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Incorporated. In 2013 he graduated from Gupton Jones Mortuary College with a degree in Mortuary Science. When he isn’t on the road performing at comedy clubs and special events across the country, King works as a licensed funeral director and embalmer in Georgia and South Carolina at his family’s funeral business in South Carolina.
