With his sharp wit and relatable humour, Pedro Gonzalez just might become your new favourite NYC-based comedian. The very popular Gonzales is currently touring the US and Canada with stops in Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa this month. The Creekside Theatre was strategic in booking a performance to catch him on his way from Los Angeles to Vancouver so Okanagan comedy fans could enjoy his humble but hilarious takes on life that resonate with widely diverse audiences.
Hailing originally from Columbia and immigrating to the US, Pedro Gonzalez is proud he holds the honour of being the first Latin American immigrant comedian to appear on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Whether he’s discussing the challenges of making it in comedy or sharing anecdotes about his in-laws, Pedro’s humor is insightful and universally appealing.
“In between his big city performances, we were really fortunate to be able to book Pedro Gonzales into our intimate 250-seat Creekside Theatre,” says Ryan Donn, Cultural Development Coordinator for Lake Country. “We work hard to provide a range of live entertainment options for locals and visitors alike. From rock, country, blues, jazz, pop and fusion live music performances, to dance, theatrical productions, and comedy, the Creekside Theatre has hosted it all. We manage relationships with agents to be able to capitalize on performer travel schedules to bring acts to the Okanagan that might otherwise be inaccessible for local audiences. The opening act for this show will be Kelowna-based comedian, Jordan Strauss.”
Pedro Gonzalez skillfully draws from his experience as an immigrant, husband and father to craft engaging narratives. His social media is filled with hilarious takes on marriage and cultural stereotypes, resonating with many. Check him out @pedrosjokes, or better yet, grab some tickets now for his April 23th show and see him in person.
