Pablo Francisco July 9, 2009

International touring comedian Pablo Francisco brings his
Drop-dead funny impressions to the Improv in DC July 9th -12th!

When Pablo Francisco hits the stage, he immediately brings his audiences to their feet with boisterous laughter and applause. His unmatched take on all things pop culture has taken him into the ranks of the most popular touring comedians worldwide. Pablo’s enormous popularity has driven his Myspace Comedy page into the top 25 out of over 33,000. Pablo’s page continues to maintain its position in the top three most visited on the site. His outrageously funny material has hooked millions viewers on YouTube.
In March of 2009 Pablo embarked on his third European tour, where he was met with brimming venues of excited fans. The tour covered ten cities across Norway, Finland, Copenhagen and Denmark. In April Francisco made his Australia debut at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival giving stellar performances in eighteen venues. Francisco is currently putting the finishing touches on his new one hour Comedy Central special to be filmed in the fall of 2009. Pablo continues to pack colleges and major concert venues across the country and recently self-produced content for digital campaigns for Absolut and Rhapsody.

It is not uncommon to sense the anticipation of Pablo’s audience as his fans await their favorite impressions, while being surprised by his unpredictable transformations. Those who experience Pablo’s show for the first time find themselves captivated by his hilarious dead on impressions. Gene Lavanchy of FOX – TV Boston calls Pablo “the most talented comedian in the business today”. His unbelievable ability to physically morph himself into movie stars, singers, friends, family, and a multitude of nationalities give Pablo’s show a universal appeal. His drop-dead funny spoofing often leaves his audiences struggling to catch their breath which is the driving force behind his huge success. His rendition of the intensely melodramatic Spanish language soap operas on Telemundo and his narration of the action-movie preview with Arnold Schwarzenegger as a tortilla vendor bring screams of laughter coast to coast. This gifted performer continues to thrive on his creativity and the spontaneity of stand up comedy selling out concert venues, universities and comedy clubs alike. Pablo continually pushes the envelope, constantly refining new material and frighteningly accurate embodiments.

Pablo's own critically acclaimed ONE HOUR special on Comedy Central entitled “OUCH!” continues to stay on the network’s most requested list. DVDTALK calls “OUCH!” “Truly original and funny”. In addition to his Comedy Central specials, Pablo has appeared on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno", Comedy Central’s “The Show Biz Show w/ David Spade” and “Mind of Mencia”. He has also been a cast member on the Fox Network's sketch comedy show "Mad TV" and recently TBS’s “Frank TV”,
