Latin Divas of Comedy

I can only say that these ladies are hilarious.

Monique Marvez has a razor-sharp wit and a quickness which indicate an intellect of rare occurrence. Her grasp of the human condition is enviable, and allows her to inject at will that most effective element of comedy: truth. She literally owned the audience from start to finish. This lady, with her courageous heart and truly fine mind, literally defines sex-appeal and femininity. She has to be pretty close to what womankind was supposed to become...but I digress...

Marilyn Martinez had me from her first three words...I think she'd make a statue laugh. She also uses a healthy dose of honesty and reality to make you like her. Her impressions are wonderful.

Sara Contreras is very, very funny. You will probably never see motherhood quite the same way again.

I missed Sandra Valls - something came up - so I cannot comment about her.

If you get a chance to watch this, WATCH IT!

When I saw this in the video store, I just knew I had to watch it. Being a gay man, I can relate more to penis/man humor more than man-vagina humor. I could have not been more precise in my estimation of laughter. I laughed at every comedian, versus just one in Latino Kings of Comedy.

Another big difference I noted was the female comics tend to talk more about themselves and their reactions; men talk about others and other's reactions. Revealing truths about yourself is much more funnier than poking fun at others.

Contreras, Boricua from New York, had me in stitches with her bit about the bra and the fifty cents; Marquez made me laugh at the truths between men and women; Valls has an excellent Iraq war strategy; and Martinez - a cross between Buddy Hackett and Roseann Barr - really had me laughing with her desire to be lifted.
