Watch One Funny Hick-Spanic

Alex Raymundo, a Mexican born comedian that emigrated to the United States as a child, brings his unique perspective to the people in One Funny Hick-Spanic. In this comedy special we get a glimpse inside Raymundo's mind, his family life and the origin of the term Hick-Spanic (it's for his children, since Raymundo is Mexican and his wife is from the American South). A raucous tour through an alternative view on the American dream, this special is worth watching over and over again for the sheer laughs that it delivers every, single time.

As far as comedic timing and body language go, Raymundo is a well-versed master in knowing just what to say and just how to say it. From tone of voice to facial expression he can take a simple joke and sucker punch the audience with it. This is even true with jokes and topics that might feel somewhat stock for stand up comedians. Observations about children and how they say and do the darndest things, life growing up in America, the relationships between men and women (married and otherwise) and all the other witticisms should feel bland and trite. However, they're flavored in such a way that they still get a laugh.

What One Funny Hick-Spanic shows the audience is that, first and foremost, Alex Raymundo is a talented storyteller. Hilarious in his own right, he's also folksy and friendly enough that he can pull the watchers into a narrative that should be blase and boring, but isn't. Raymundo's performance makes it engaging, despite there being nothing but him and an empty stage as his back drop. If he can be entertaining with just that, then there's nothing he can't do as an entertainer and as a comedian.

While not his only stand up special, One Funny Hick-Spanic does set the tone for Raymundo's style and his content. Mostly wholesome with a lot of innuendo, he keeps the language to a minimum and the themes to a maximum. Additionally the cadence and rhythm of this special makes it a great watch, or even a listen, no matter what you're doing. Whether it's house work or home work, it's great for the occasional chuckle and a running commentary.
