Event: Colombian comedian Andres Lopez in Miami and NYC

One of Colombia’s most famous stand-up comedians-Andres Lopez- has been touring the U.S. and will be performing this weekend in Miami and New York City. Lopez has gained critical acclaim for his stand-up show entitled “La Pelota de Letras” (“The Lettered Ball”) which is an insanely humorous look at Colombian life from the 1960s to around the present time. (Personal disclaimer- I nearly busted my ribs laughing while viewing the pirated DVD of “La Pelota de Letras” with family in Bogotá last year!)

Andres Lopez is an intelligent comedian, from what I gathered in "La Pelota de Letras ". He showed an incredible preception of about the truths of the Colombian household, or at least about mine.

The thing with Lopez is that he certainly does have an "incredible perception" and an acute sense of observation in his comedy. It will be very interesting to see if and how he will follow up "Pelota de Letras"
