About this show

Comedian Carlos Mencia is best known for his raw and unfiltered style of comedy. He has recently gone back to his comedic roots on his LIBERATED comedy tour, sharing his newest material with smaller, more intimate audiences, and has a residency twice-weekly at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club in Las Vegas as part of the “Stars of Comedy” series. Carlos is never lacking in material; his current stand-up special “Here I Am” is streaming digitally now. Carlos will also reprise his role as Felix Boulevardez in Disney+’s “The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder,” the revival of the groundbreaking animated series “The Proud Family.” The show is heading into its second season. Mencia was named International Comedy Grand Champion from Buscando Estrellas (the Latin version of Star Search), eventually landing on shows such as “In Living Color,” “The Arsenio Hall Show,” and “An Evening at the Improv.” Mencia continued his journey up the comedy ladder by headlining stand-up tours and starring in stand-up TV specials. In 2002, he received a CableACE Award nomination for Best Stand-Up Comedy Special for his HBO special. Comedy Central soon took notice and the show “Mind of Mencia” went into development. “Carlos Mencia: No Strings Attached,” the first Comedy Central Stand-up Special DVD to achieve Platinum sales status. Throughout the four seasons of “Mind of Mencia,” Carlos never stopped performing live, headlining shows across the country and internationally. “Comedy is my art, and fans are my passion,” he has said. Always looking to give back to those fans, Mencia has entertained troops serving overseas for USO tours in Turkey, Kirkuk, Baghdad, Qatar, Afghanistan, and many other countries. Later, Mencia went on to star on the big screen. He starred opposite Ben Stiller and Michelle Monaghan in “The Heartbreak Kid,” and in the family-comedy “Our Family Wedding,” alongside America Ferrara and Forrest Whitaker.
