& Willie Barcena
Martin Moreno‘s comedy career didn’t begin until he was in his early 30’s and by that time he had a freakishly funny point of view of his life. His two failed marriages gave him an alternative and hysterical definition of “soul mates.” Moreno’s comedy touches on his personal life and insecurities resulting in a funny intelligent analytical view of how growing up in the 80’s molded him to be the carefree nonchalant and laid back adult he is today.
Martin was featured on Gabriel Iglesias’ multi platinum selling DVDs “Hot and Fluffy” and “I’m Not Fat I’m Fluffy ” and was part of the nationwide comedy tour The Fluffy Shop which sold over 122 000 tickets in over 70 cities across North America. Martin can also be seen as the co-host of “Gabriel Iglesias Presents Stand-Up Revolution” which aired on Comedy Central in Fall 2011. He is currently on the road with Gabriel Iglesias on the Stand-Up Revolution Tour.
A 20-year comedy veteran, never shys away from a challenge. Willie’s talent has garnered him 12 appearances on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” more than any other Latino Comedian in the history of the Tonight Show. Jay even invited Willie to perform for the troops in Afghanistan. Barcena helped provide much-needed laughter to that part of the world. Willie’s numerous jobs prepared him for his comedy career. His security guard, plumber, roofer, and limo driver gigs gave him a background for his humor about everyday life. After years of stand-up road work Willie is now ready for new challenges. He has written and performed a one-man show entitled “Cry Like a Man.” This highly acclaimed performance demonstrates the struggle of a blue-collar comic in today’s society. In addition to being a comedy road warrior, Willie has appeared on many TV shows including: “Moesha,” “The Wayans Brothers,” and he was chosen to be the host of the popular Si-Tv production “Latino Laugh Festival – The Show.” He’s also made multiple appearances on tours such as “Que Locos,” “Latino Laugh Festival,” “Montreal’s Just for Laughs,” and “Crown Royal Latin All Stars Comedy Explosion.” Willie had his one hour Comedy Central which was received with rave reviews. Though, Willie’s most recent one hour Showtime special was received even better reviews.
