Search - Al Madrigal :: Half Breed

An interracial harbinger of the great wave of Central Americans ''humping their way north,'' television and stand up stand out Al Madrigal is living proof that, while a half Mexican in a sailor suit might grow up fast, he'll also grow up funny. On his new Stand Up! Records release, Half Breed, Madrigal's charming stage manner lends itself well to his often involved and seemingly tangential stories. In the course of a joke, he may take a detour for an Armenian genocide reference wrapped in a playground tale or a discussion of housing prices and gentrification or even an instructional aside on the favored transportation of lesbians, all the while skillfully aiming for a hilarious synthesis.
