Cine El Rey Theatre and Pharr United Methodist Church are excited to announce a Christian comedy night that will be fun for the entire family. Just in time for the holidays, when family is visiting from out of town, Valleyites will have a fun family event that will leave them rolling in the aisles. Audiences can expect an all-star line up featuring some of the country’s hottest new stand up comedians.

Headlining the show is Dennis Gaxiola, one of the hottest urban comics in America. Dennis’ impressive resume includes performances at Jamie Foxx’s Laffapalooza, Paul Rodriguez’s Latin All-Stars of Comedy, and Que Locos. He is well known at numerous comedy clubs in California and has performed at improv clubs across the nation. A native of Berkeley, California and the son of a preacher, Dennis' comedy is as diverse as any you will ever hear.  With a melting pot of a family, that includes his Mexican heritage, an African American brother in-law, a Jewish Brother in-law, a Puerto Rican sister in-law and a Filipino wife, Dennis' quick wit is loaded for any audience.  His smooth relaxed delivery is spiced up with edgy, thought provoking material that has lead to numerous television appearances and DVD projects.

Family Comedy Night will also feature a Texas favorite, Cleto Rodriguez. Cleto has been called “the funniest man on Earth” by the New York Times and has been critically acclaimed throughout the nation. He recently won the title of “Funniest Comic in the Southwest.” He has worked with George Lopez and Wayne Brady and has been featured on BET, MTV and Comedy Central. Originally from San Antonio, Cleto has made a name for himself by performing at colleges, clubs and churches across the nation. Cleto’s performance includes hilarious stories of fatherhood, working out in the gym and “meeting God for the first time…again.”

Audiences will also be treated to the hilarious Richard Trevino. Richard has been wowing audiences throughout Texas with his blend of Latino and Christian comedy.
