Home: Welcome

Show Description 

Home: Headliner

Welcome to the next installment of Stand-up for Humanity, a local comedy show to benefit the Esperanza Dance Project (www.esperanzadanceproject.com) and The Forgotten Children Foundation (www.theforgottenchildren.org). Both organizations work hard to aid the well being of our youth here at home and abroad.

In 2019 this 18+ comedy event presented an exciting show opening dance number with the Esperanza Dancers, a stand-up comedy show with local comedians featuring a nationally prominent headlining comic, and capped off with an epic raffle that offered an assortment of awesome prizes ranging from autographed memorabilia to gift cards from local businesses as well as a $1,100 "staycation"/golf package from the JW Marriott!


A large portion of the proceeds from ticket sales went to the two foundations and all of the proceeds from the raffle were given to them. We also accepted canned food donations on behalf of the Tucson Community Food Bank for the upcoming holiday season. Thanks to everyone who participated in the food drive, SFH dropped off many pounds of food to the food bank! Patrons received a raffle ticket for each can brought in.


The next installment of the SFH will bring more laughs and great times, so please join us for a night of hilarity for charity.

*Due to the possibility of adult language this is an 18+ event.

Valdez aka "TucsonFats"

Host / Executive Producer

Valdez, aka "TucsonFats," is a true born and raised Tucsonan who loves all things U of A. He’s a retired public servant, but for fun he’s a semi-pro football player, a professional wrestler, an actor, and a stand-up comic. He has performed at various local venues, hosted shows in Vegas, and even hosted/produced a Halloween stand-up show.


When he found out about the diligent efforts the two organizations; The Forgotten Children and the Esperanza Dance Project do on a daily basis to better the lives of youth, he was inspired to help them. He created the Stand-up for Humanity showcase as a way to contribute to their causes as well as give his favorite city a night of fun and entertainment.

Charles Ludwig

Performer

Charles Ludwig began his journey with stand-up comedy just 5 years ago. In that short time, he has risen through the ranks to become widely regarded as one of THE top 250 stand-up comedians in ALL of Pima County's 4th voting district of Tucson, AZ.


He has performed at some amazing venues, including:• On a race track.*• While standing in front of a windmill.*• While standing on a draw-bridge in front of a Castle.*• At Golf N' Stuff.


His flair for "just tellin' it like it is, y'all" mixed with his penchant for buying audience member's drinks has led to him becoming a crowd favorite who is in financial ruin.


His comedy accomplishments include:• Winner of the 3rd annual Tucson 'Battle at the Roast Room'• Runner-up at the 4th annual Tucson 'Battle at the Roast Room' (and there was questionable judging in that final round!)• Banned from the 5th annual Tucson 'Battle at the Roast Room' (for speaking truth to power!).

Nic-hole Live.jpg

Nicole Riesgo

Performer

Nicole Riesgo is a former English teacher, security guard, and 2nd place winner in a toddler beauty pageant. She’s a true born local, UA alum, and an UA employee for the past decade, she spends her workdays processing all the bizarre things people misplace on campus.


Her hobbies include, but not limited to holding hands with strangers for money, tipping bartenders to be her friend, and texting jokes to herself on her flip phone (yes, she really does use a flip phone, for real).


Nicole does stand-up because she thinks everyone looks sexy when they laugh, but mainly she does it because she needs unrelenting public validation and admiration.

Vicente "V" Trejo

Performer

Vicente is new to the world of stand-up comedy; he is ready to ascend from the audience onto the stage and into the spotlight to absorb the admiration of his soon to be fans. He goes by "V" because unfortunately he is a product of the public-school system and cannot spell his own name nor tell time on a non-digital clock, but he does know how to successfully play with Legos without eating them anymore.


V is quick witted and harbors no shame, therefore no story about him is off limits as long as it means there’s a laugh to be had even at his expense. Living in the middle of nowhere on a small farm where he and his mother hoard animals as a hobby has given him an insatiable need for attention. So he’s ready to step onstage and prove his worth by doing what he does best: make people laugh by any means necessary. He is the master of impersonating the likes of Kronk and Joe Swanson which has entertained audiences all over.
