TUCSON, Ariz. (April 16, 2024) — Comedian Carlos Mencia is set to perform at the Diamond Center on Saturday, May 25, 2024. Tickets start at $25 and go on sale Friday, April 19 at 10 a.m. through Etix and at Desert Diamond Casino’s Box Office. Doors open at 7 p.m.; show starts at 8 p.m. Anyone exhibiting COVID-19 or flu-like symptoms, or with recent exposure to a person with COVID-19, is asked to stay home.
Mencia is best known for his raw and unfiltered style of comedy, which he has showcased to great success on comedy stages and in television shows and movies. He has recently gone back to his comedic roots on his No Hate No Fear comedy tour, sharing his newest material with smaller, more intimate audiences. As a comedian who finds the hilarious irony in both the day-to-day and the newsworthy events, Mencia is never lacking in material; he recently shot two stand-up specials due out later this year. He will also reprise his role as Felix Boulevardez in Disney+’s “The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder,” the revival of the groundbreaking animated series “The Proud Family.”
Mencia’s career in comedy began at amateur night at the Laugh Factory comedy club. He became a regular at The Comedy Store and then found success on the Los Angeles comedy circuit, landing on shows such as “In Living Color,” “The Arsenio Hall Show,” and “An Evening at the Improv.” Mencia continued his journey up the comedy ladder by headlining stand-up tours and starring in stand-up TV specials. In 2002, he received a CableACE Award nomination for Best Stand-Up Comedy Special for his HBO special. Comedy Central soon took notice and the show “Mind of Mencia” went into development. After the first season, Comedy Central signed Mencia back for an original stand-up special, “Carlos Mencia: No Strings Attached.”
Treena Parvello, Director of Government and Public Relations for the Tohono O’odham Gaming Enterprise, said, “Desert Diamond Casinos is excited to welcome Carlos Mencia to the Diamond Center on May 25. His No Hate No Fear tour showcases the very best Mencia has to offer after a career full of laughs!”
