About Carlos Mencia:

 

About Carlos Mencia:

One of the most popular comedians in stand-up history is back in 2008 with his live tour “At Close Range” presented by Bud Light. Carlos Mencia takes comedy one step further as he combines unrelenting provocative nature with caustic, unabashed humor and pokes at racial stereotypes as well as modern day absurdities in a blunt and politically incorrect manner. Mencia demonstrates an extraordinary ability to connect with a diverse audience with his unique point-of-view, insightful perception, and exceptional ability to elicit laughs while making our brains tick.

This past year was hugely successful! Mencia starred opposite Ben Stiller and Michelle Monaghan in The Heartbreak Kid, experienced sold-out live performances throughout the U.S., and renewed his hit show “Mind of Mencia” for a fourth season during prime time on Comedy Central where he dishes out a new brand of groundbreaking comedy humor.
