A product of the streets of East Los Angeles, FELIPE ESPARZA is
a comedian and actor, best known for his raw, real-life comedy
that audiences everywhere can relate to. Recognized for his wild
hair and his often-imitated phrase, "what's up, fool?",
people are surprised to find out that Felipe is also the same
person referred to and imitated in infamous stories by fellow
comedian, Gabriel Iglesias. In addition to performing his live
stand-up in venues worldwide, Felipe hosts a weekly podcast on
the All Things Comedy Network called "What's Up Fool?"
that focuses on interesting stories from just about anybody. Felipe
believes everyone has a story to tell about how they got where
they are, no matter who they are. Recently, Felipe produced his
second hour-long stand-up special with his wife Lesa, entitled
"Translate This", which premiered on HBO in the Fall
of 2017.

Teo González
nació el 28 de Octubre de 1960 en la ciudad de León,
Guanajuato, México. Es un popular comediante mexicano que
hace presentaciones personales en teatros, auditorios y palenques,
televisión y radio. Para muchos es considerado como el
mejor comediante de México.
A la corta edad de 5 meses de nacido,
falleció su madre, Antonia, por lo cual su abuela materna
se hizo cargo de su crianza. Es católico practicante. Siendo
joven fue tercer portero de fútbol soccer en el Club León
de la Primera División Mexicana. El hacía reír
a sus compañeros durante los entrenamientos y durante las
giras del equipo de fútbol. En una reunión que tuvo
con sus compañeros en un centro nocturno lo convencieron
de subir al escenario para que contara algunos de sus chistes
ya populares dentro del club de fútbol. A partir de ese
momento mantuvo entretenidos tanto a sus compañeros como
a la clientela del lugar. En días posteriores, el propietario
del lugar lo contactó para ofrecerle trabajo como comediante.
Fue el detonante para que se dedicara de lleno al mundo de la
comedia.
