It’s a little wild to think an entire year has past since the last Latino Stand Up Competition, but here we are, yet again. HBO and the New York Latino Film Festival have once more partnered up to search for the best Latino/Latina/Latinx comedians across the U.S. to feature at the New York Comedy Festival next month and to give a special to the winner of the whole damn thing.

All you have to do as a Latino/Latina/Latinx comedian is submit a 3-5 minute of your stand-up for consideration for the competition. This is the third year of the HBO/NYLFF Latino Stand Up Competition and it’s still free to enter!

Get rules, specific deadlines, and instructions on how to submit here until 10/22 here.

Whether it be from Creeper, Dress Up Gang, or his own stand-up, Frankie Quiñones has gotten folks to bust up almost every which way he can. Thankfully, he has his very own comedy special (that is frankly overdue) coming out very soon.

Frankie Quiñones: Superhomies will be a mix of stand-up, characters, and sketch that’ll be giving you all that Frankie has to give. It’s set for its debut on Fri. Jul. 9th at 10PM on HBO Latino (and it will stream on HBO Max too). Frankie was already on such a rise before lockdown and we’re really glad to see that he’s pretty much picking up right from where he left off.

LA scene favorite Chris Estrada was poised for a great 2020 before the pandemic took hold. Now, 8 months into lockdown, Estrada is, thankfully, still getting some great things that he deserves coming his way like a HBO Latino Entre Nos special premiering later this month. Estrada zooms with TCB’s Jake Kroeger about weathering the world throughout this year and keeping the flame of his comedy alive whether it be on Zoom, at an outdoors comedy show, or on his first stand-up special. Also, they dish “hot” takes on new series developments at ABC, Showtime, and Fox as well as representation for Latinx in comedy and the label of Latinx itself.

“Entre Nos: LA Meets NY” Has Chris Estrada and Ian Lara Co-Headlining a Comedy Special

It would have seemed that stand-up comedy specials from the before times have been exhausted as Netflix and HBO haven’t released a comedy special with a live audience in quite some time. Yet, there’s still a bit of that good ol’ comedy before the pandemic took hold that’s left to see.

HBO Latino is set to release a brand new co-headlined special with LA’s Chris Estrada and NY’s Ian Lara for a bi-coastal comedy special, Entre Nos | LA Meets NY: Chris Estrada and Ian Lara. Either of them could carry their own special (Estrada has been a personal favorite of ours around the LA scene for years), but we’re glad to see that they’ll have an HBO credit to their name.

Get a taste of this latest Entre Nos special with this trailer and then look for it to premiere on HBO Latino on Fri. Nov. 13th at 9:30PM ET/PT and then also streaming on HBO Max.
