Bud Light Presents Carlos Mencia “At Close Range”

Tennessee Theatre

Sep 4th, 2008

7:00pm - What happens when you take the awe of Sam Kinison, mix it with the political edge of George Carlin, add the frenetic pace of Jim Carrey and sprinkle more than a dash of the racial daring of Richard Pryor and what do you get? A sizzling hot, spicy dish of MENCIA MADNESS!

Carlos Mencia, Latino superstar/stand-up comedian, is undoubtedly one of today’s most lauded and feared comics. Each week he is the “mouth” behind Comedy Central’s hit show “Mind of Mencia” (now in its third season), where he dishes out a new brand of groundbreaking comedy humor. Mencia takes comedy one step further than comics like Lenny Bruce and Chris Rock, as he combines attitude and his unrelenting provocative nature with caustic, unabashed humor and pokes at racial stereotypes as well as modern day absurdities. As this half-hour show features man-on-the-street interviews, studio comedy and commercial parodies, Mencia demonstrates an extraordinary ability to connect with a diverse audience, with his unique point-of-view of the world, a rare gift of insightful perception, and an exceptional ability to elicit laughs while making our brains tick. Mencia is currently staring opposite Ben Stiller and Michelle Monaghan in SEVEN DAY ITCH, a DreamWorks comedy directed by Peter and Bobby Farrelly. Mencia completed the five-month “Carlos Mencia: The Punisher Tour 2006” across America, taking his no-holds-barred comedy on the road to sell out shows in over 45 cities. With over 100 sold-out performances, it became the biggest tour of any Latin comedian to date. The highly anticipated tour brought Mencia face-to-face with his fans bringing laughs across the country.
