About

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.  
Mencia was born in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, the 17th of 18 children. His parents sent him to the United States when he was about three months old, where he was raised in Maravilla Projects in Los Angeles, California by his aunt and uncle. In his early teens, Mencia moved back to Honduras because his family wanted him to avoid the destructive gang culture of East Los Angeles.  When Mencia later returned to Los Angeles, he showed such educational prowess that he was immediately promoted to the tenth grade. Soon after, he successfully graduated from Garfield High School.
Mencia began his career doing stand-up on amateur night at the comedy club, Laugh Factory.  He later showcased at The Comedy Store and became a regular, performing nightly. After he found success on the L.A comedy circuit, 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."  In 1994, he hosted the HBO comedy series "Loco Slam" and in 1998 he hosted "Funny is Funny!" on Galavision. Mencia released a comedy album in 2000 called "Take a Joke, America" that showcased his brand of confrontational humor.  
Mencia continued his journey up the comedy ladder by headlining "The Three Amigos" tour with Freddy Soto and Pablo Francisco in 2002, which sold out in record time around the United States.  He was also featured in the independent films, "Outta Time" and "29 Palms" and starred in guest spots on "The Shield" and "The Bernie Mac Show," among others.  In 2002, he received a CableACE Award nomination for Best Stand-Up Comedy Special for his HBO special. That same year, Mencia was featured on "Comedy Central Presents."  Mencia remained busy and 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 and after the first season, Comedy Central signed Mencia back for his own original stand-up special, "Carlos Mencia: No Strings Attached."  The special was the first Comedy Central Stand-up Special DVD to achieve Platinum sales status. 
"Mind of Mencia" debuted on Comedy Central in early 2005.  It became one of the strongest shows in the network's history, averaging about 1.5 million total viewers. "Mind of Mencia" was executive produced by Carlos Mencia and Robert Morton ("Late Night with David Letterman").  
In the summer of 2007, Mencia starred opposite Ben Stiller and Michelle Monaghan in the Farrelly Brothers' hit feature film, THE HEARTBREAK KID (DreamWorks).  In the fall of that year Mencia headlined a nationwide comedy tour titled "Carlos Mencia Live Presented by Bud Light."  The highly anticipated tour brought Mencia face-to-face with his fans from September 2007 through December 2007.  Shortly thereafter, Mencia taped a new comedy special for Comedy Central, "Carlos Mencia: Performance Enhanced," that aired in May 2008. 
In July 2008, Mencia began his tour, "At Close Range" at Red Rock Amphitheatre in Colorado. The tour was sponsored by Bud Light and co-promoted by Icon Entertainment and Live Nation. Larger than all of his previous tours, Mencia performed in 80 cities across the country. In the summer of 2009, he kicked off a new nationwide comedy tour entitled "The Administration of Laughter" which currently brings him to excited audiences all around the country.
Since 2007, every holiday season Mencia has embarked on a USO Tour to the Persian Gulf to entertain the troops serving overseas. For his 2008 trip, Mencia visited Kuwait to host "Operation MySpace," an exclusive concert for American Troops in the Middle East alongside Jessica Simpson and The Pussycat Dolls. The special aired on FX in April 2008. Mencia's 2009 USO tour had stops in Turkey, Kirkuk, Baghdad, Qatar, Afghanistan, and many other countries.
Mencia filmed the FOX Searchlight comedy OUR FAMILY WEDDING in which he stars alongside America Ferrara and Forrest Whitaker. The film was released to theatres nationwide on March 12th, 2010. As evident by his many projects, Mencia's career is continually flourishing, making him one of Hollywood's most sought after talents to date! 
Carlos Mencia presently lives in Los Angeles with his wife and their son.

    Don't MISS it!!!

    by LadySamantha347 on 7/15/09Selena Auditorium At the American Bank Center - Corpus Christi

    Carlos is HILARIOUS! We had a GREAT time. I had to hold my ribs, I was laughing so hard! I have been to LOTS of comedy shows, and he is tied for First! If you like him on TV, you will LOVE him in person. He stood outside and took pictures with the fans before AND after the show. There was a charge, but, worth EVERY penny! Go see the Show, you won't be disappointed!

    Mencia kicked butt

    by Orangeblood on 7/15/09Selena Auditorium At the American Bank Center - Corpus Christi

    Most people like George Lopez, as do I but Carlos Mencia is awesome. He is alot more adult oriented and no one is safe from his script. I do like it. He also keeps things new. Like him more than Lopez, but dont get me wrong, I will also see Lopez.

    by CorvetteTexan on 7/15/09Selena Auditorium At the American Bank Center - Corpus Christi

    This was the second Mencia show we have been to and this guy absolutely ROCKS! My ribs were hurting from laughing so much. Much better than Lopez in my opinion (not that Lopez is bad). Will buy these tickets for as long as he keeps coming to Corpus. Awesome!!

    I loved seeing Carlos Mencia live! He is great and I don't care if people say he steals jokes.. it's all in the delivery and his delivery is hilarious! The seating was a bit cramped but otherwise, awesome show!

    Carlos Menica is awesome

    by Clabo1 on 7/15/09Turning Stone Resort & Casino Showroom - Verona

    I really enjoyed watching the show. I was disappointed of the location where i watched him because no alcohol was servered, but i still had a great time. I love the "special ed" jokes he makes and when he runs around on stadge. The best part was after the show he hangs out so you can get your pictue taken with him and his crew!

    Turning Stone Show was the best!

    by Princess23 on 7/15/09Turning Stone Resort & Casino Showroom - Verona

    It was the best show i have seen! Been to 5! I think he expresses his mind and is not afraid of anything getting in his way of free speech. He tells it how it is and i respect that. I can't wait until he comes again to Albany NY so i can go again. I have his tee shirts, DVD's and a picture with him! Love his stuff, classic!!!!

    Carlo is the funniests!!!

    by Inggy on 7/14/09Turning Stone Resort & Casino Showroom - Verona

    I love Mind of Mencia. As a fan, I could not wait to see Carlos in person. I laughed so hard that my stomach hurt. My boyfriend did not watch him like I did and came out saying that he would go see him again in a heartbeat. I told some of his jokes at work and they killed!

    Better than ever

    by snowflake212 on 7/14/09Turning Stone Resort & Casino Showroom - Verona

    Carlos was crazier than ever at the Turning Stone event. I wish it had lasted longer. I could watch him all night. The Turning Stone was a great place to see him. Can't wait until he comes around my area again. I will drive miles to see him.

    Carlos Mencia is a genius

    by CNYGrandma on 7/14/09Turning Stone Resort & Casino Showroom - Verona

    We had seen a couple videos of Carlos Mencia when visiting our son when he was in the Army stationed at Fort Bliss TX. We laughed so hard that our ribs hurt. Now that our son is out of the Military, we presented him and his wife with Birthday tickets to see Carlos at the Turning Stone resort and naturally we treated ourselves to seats as well. By the time the show was over, we didn't care how much money we lost in the casino and we didn't have any tears left because we laughed so much, we cried our eyes dry. This man is a genius. The way his mind works is almost scary. He can get away with his act because he makes sure he insults every race and religion there is so that he can't be accused of discrimination. He is like a modern day Don Rickles on steroids. We would recommend his show to everyone, except possibly a terrorist!

    Mencia at turningstone

    by marco6 on 7/14/09Turning Stone Resort & Casino Showroom - Verona

    We like his tv show, that's why we went. But his live show was not all that great. He re hashed a lot of old material from the tv show, didn't have much new to say. For the $80.00 ticket price, I would not go see him again.

    Carlos Mencia was GREAT!!

    by annies on 7/14/09Turning Stone Resort & Casino Showroom - Verona

    For those of you that love to watch Carlos Mencia's standup routine, this is definately worth the money. The show was a little over 2 hours and even the opening act was good. I recommend anyone who likes Carlos to go and see him in person.

    by Latina12182 on 7/14/09Turning Stone Resort & Casino Showroom - Verona

    I am so glad I went to see him at Turning Stone Casino, We got the 2nd show, He wasn't in a rush, he was so into the audiance and he's jokes were fantastic, I love this man, he really knows how to give a show, if you havent seen him, you are wasting your time, I highly recommend him and if it in Turningstone, you will get your moneys worth.

    Carlos was great!

    by nancycatt on 7/14/09Turning Stone Resort & Casino Showroom - Verona

    Believe it or not, Carlos Mencia is even funnier in person than he is on his show. If he is coming to your area, you should make this your must-see concert of the year. Awesome!
