BIO
Though raised by a pack of wolves, it is the combination of Caribbean roots, urban upbringing and Ivy League education that define the unique comedic style of Pedro Hernandez. As a young boy growing up in the predominantly Black Detroit Public School System, Pedro often had to defend himself, and his name, as he was the only Black child around with a full Spanish name. As a result, a keen wit and sharp tongue were developed, and later backed by the insight and analytical skills provided by a Princeton education. While at Princeton, at the tender age of 18, Pedro first discovered his talent as a comedian by creating, directing and producing what ended up being one of Princeton’s most popular comedy troupes. After graduation it was time for the big test…Los Angeles; where he has been ever since. Pedro is now a regular at the world famous Hollywood Improv, LA’s premier comedy club, and is making a name for himself on college campuses across America. His unique background and upbringing give him the range to speak on everything from riding the city bus to the current state of global politics with equal insight. Pedro Hernandez is changing the face of Black comedy as we speak, leading the way for a new breed of urban intellectuals.
