About Franco Escamilla
Franco Escamilla on Tour
He's known as "El Diablo" or "El Amo del Sarcasmo" — a comedian whose black humor skewers anything in his path. But Franco Escamilla is much more than just another funny, prickly comedian: He's also a gifted storyteller and an acute observer of Mexican life, mining regional differences (or differences between small towns and big cities) to craft comedy out of his fans' daily experiences. A self-deprecating presence on stage, Escamilla can make comedy out of the smallest moment — even something as simple as his wife falling asleep in the car — and frequently uses his own life experiences as raw material. Escamilla also showcases his skills as both singer and guitarist by punctuating his shows with short comic songs. He began touring in 2014 and has undertaken numerous treks that have brought him as far afield as Europe, Australia and Japan. His 2017 tour "Por la anécdota" became a Netflix special, and in 2019 he launched his "Payaso" tour, which would run through 2021.
Franco Escamilla Background
Escamilla was born in 1981 in Cuautla, Morelos, Mexico. He moved to Monterrey, Mexico, with his mother when he was just 16 years old to study at a music school while working in bars and restaurants around the city. He quickly distinguished himself as a multitalented performer, but comedy claimed him — and he proved an industrious denizen of the form, turning out a raft of radio shows, television spots and live performances. Estrella TV featured "El show de Franco Escamilla," and Comedy Central even featured him on a few shows. As his fame grew, so did his venues: He became the first comedian to headline some of the country's most storied performance spaces, including the Mexico City Arena, and he even headlined Carnegie Hall. Netflix specials followed, including Por la anécdota, Comediantes del mundo and Bienvenido al mundo. He keeps busy with a regular YouTube show called "La Mesa Reñoña." But Escamilla never forgot his musical aspirations, and in 2016, he made his musical debut at Mexico's Trovafest, performing with the Argentinean band Los Caligaris. He released his first album, Fe (recorded with Edgar Oceransky), in 2017, which revealed the comic's earnest side with a set of lovely acoustic folk songs.

by BarbaraEsp on 11/16/16Abraham Chavez Theatre - El PasoIt was a great show but it was hard to hear. The speakers didn't carry the sound well to the back of the theater. The venue needs better acoustics. It was frustrating when you miss the punchline to a joke.

by Beak146 on 11/16/16Abraham Chavez Theatre - El PasoThe entire show was great and would encourage everyone to attend. His opening act comedians were really funny as well. Franco had all new material on stage and was just hilarious the entire show. I am really happy that he was able to come to El Paso to give a show.

by memomp3 on 11/16/16Abraham Chavez Theatre - El PasoFranco did an amazing show. It was my first time attending a comedy show and I didn't know what to expect. Two comedias performed before Franco and I thought Franco's performance was going to be an hour or less. I was so wrong. He performed for almost 2 hours. Franco is freaking funny. Non stop laughing. Highly recommended.

by JRP21 on 11/15/16McAllen Convention Center - McAllenThe comedian himself was awesome, and he used new material, so I would definitely recommend his show! The tickets were kind of pricey. They were charging almost the same amount as they did for an Adele show I went to, which I thought was pretty ridiculous. But overall it was good. The pricing and demand reflected based on the open floor seats. I would should have just gotten the seats in the back since the floor view wasn't that great, thank good ness for the screens. They should have had the opening act on the screens as well.

by Anonymous on 11/14/16McAllen Convention Center - McAllenShow was awesome! He's hilarious, I've been follwing him on YouTube for a while so I was familiar with the way he is. Word of advice: This isn't a show for kids, he says a ton of bad words. Also, if you don't understand Spanish don't waste your money, 99% of the show is in Spanish. He's funny as hell, I'm definitely going again if he comes back!
