Black Pedro

Though raised by a pack of wolves, it is the combination of Caribbean roots, urban upbringing and Ivy League education that define Black Pedro’s unique comedic style. Growing up in the Detroit Public School System, Pedro often had to verbally defend himself, 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. It was there that Pedro first discovered his talent as a comedian by co-producing and directing 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 and Laugh Factory, 2 of LA’s premier comedy clubs, and is making a name for himself at clubs and on college campuses across America. Pedro’s television debut came as a cast member on season one of the hit BET show “Hell Date” where he played some of the more popular characters like “The Ventriloquist” and “The Napoleon Complex”. He has since gone on to appear on shows like “Comics Unleashed,” “Prank My Mom,” “On Air Dares” and dozens of national commercials. 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. He’s Black, he’s Pedro, he’s funny.
