George Perez, a stand-up comedian from Orange County, shares his journey from construction worker to rising comedic star. His observational humor, rooted in personal narratives and sociopolitical commentary, resonated with audiences at the Comedy Store, leading to a sold-out debut hour special. Perez discusses his connection to the Stand Up Comedy Club in Bellflower, his inspiration from Cheech and Chong, and his memorable first comedy performance.
On a recent Saturday night on Sunset Boulevard, a pair of black 1940s low-riders guided the diverse, sold-out crowd into the Comedy Store . Cypress Hill hung out in the green room. Los Angeles photographer and director Estevan Oriol oversaw six cameras and the taping of George Perez ’s debut hour special, “Misunderstood,” presented by Foos Gone Wild. “There were no fights,” Perez enthuses.
Perez appeared on MTV, Showtime and Comedy Central before a previous version of his life caught up to him. Before comedy, he had been a gang member since seventh grade. There was vandalism, carjacking, gun charges and a steadfast refusal to walk from fights. Perez was a felon at 18, the same year his son was born.
