Jesus Sepulveda dropped by the neighborhood to speak with Big Boy about his new HBO special, bombing live on stage, and his Latino upbringing. Plus, the comedian reveals his old day jobs, stories from his childhood, and shares what it’s like to grow up with immigrant parents.
Jesus Sepulveda’s new comedy special “Mr. Tough Life” premieres on HBO Max August, 5th.
Born in the city of Los Angeles and later a resident of Tucson, Arizona he was the oldest of the boys and the tension breaker, aka, the wild child. Always known as the funny kid even at a young age, he performed in grammar school to get out his passion to make people laugh. Stand up came into play at the tender age of 15 at a local comedy club. A few years later, Jesus decided to move back to LA in November of 2009 and has been in the comedy scene ever since.
In June of 2017, he was featured in Chingo Bling’s “They Cant Deport Us All” Special on Netflix. He will also be seen in October 2017 on the HBO Latino show called “Entre Nos” where he performs a 25 min on his family standup material.
Early 2015, Jesus received a big break by becoming a top finalist on the NBC Diversity Showcase where they selected 8 standup comedians out of a thousand country wide. Jesus was able to show off his storytelling, like ability, and energy all through his performance on stage.
