Comic Luke Torres at Latin Comedy Jam

Luke Torres came from a Texas town with a few thousand residents. But his act consisting of Stand Up comedy, impressions of the rich and famous, a multitude of characters from all cultures, and musical parodies has entertained large audiences in many of the largest cities in the United States, and on television comedy shows.  

 Luke and four other Latino comedians will thrill an Arizona crowd Saturday, March 30, 8 p.m. as part of the Latin Comedy Jam at the Wild Horse Pass casino and resort. The jam is a collection of the best Latino comics in show biz today, and features some of the hottest talents to take the stage. These nationally recognized comedians have experienced success in film, TV, and their own comedy specials. The show promises to be a night of big laughs.

He sticks it to redneck cops and East LA gangbangers alike. He laments the lack of Latinos in Taco Bell commercials. Highlights of his act are his awesome impressions of Enrique Iglesias, Ricky Martin, and Jack Nicholson.
