The Colombian Experience

  • The Den Theatre 1331 North Milwaukee Avenue Chicago, IL, 60622 United States (map)

Presented by Hilarious Colombian Americans

This event is for ages 18 and older.

Oscar Collazos and Santi Espinosa are Colombians who immigrated to the United States as kids and although their paths took different routes upon arrival, they ended up in the same place: as stand-up comedians in New York City.

Oscar, who was born in Cali, began his comedy career as an intern at NBC's Late Night with Conan O'Brien. He has quietly pounded the pavement in the U.S. for over 20 years establishing himself as one of the funniest comedians flying under the radar today.

Santi, who hails from Bogota, started by taking improv classes in Montreal followed by open mics in New York City and has quickly amassed a large social media following with his "Colombian Wisdom" posts as well as his wildly successful monthly show at New York Comedy Club titled "It Matters."

After two nationwide tours with the Hilarious Colombian Americans and selling out the New York Comedy Festival twice, they are introducing The Colombian Experience - a hilarious stand-up comedy show that highlights their upbringing as Colombian immigrants in an American world. From dating outside of their culture, to the difficulty of translations and overprotective parents, to visiting Colombia now as "gringos," these two parceros are guaranteed to deliver one of the funniest cultural comedy shows ever put together.

THIS SHOW IS IN ENGLISH WITH SOME SPANISH AND FOR EVERYONE TO ENJOY NOT JUST COLOMBIANS.
