I better start doing stand up comedy in Spanish before every comedian in Mexico translates my jokes.
Felipe EsparzaI also had a stuttering problem. In a Mexican home they don't give you speech therapy; they don't even know what speech therapy is. They just get the belt. If there's a parrot in the house, you better talk better than the parrot.
Felipe EsparzaMy dad was one of those dads that would make me stop crying by threatening to beat me.

Felipe EsparzaI listened to my first comedy album in 6th grade. It was Bill Cosby. My brother and I would play it over and over on a Fisher Price record player. A friend in high school also introduced me to Richard Pryor. I wasn't writing material back then, but I would say funny stuff. I was good at making fun of people's moms. If I knew something personal about you, it would be used against you.
