During the 2023 Laugh After Dark Comedy Festival inside Cornish Pasty Co. in the bustling Las Vegas Arts District, comedian Juan Nicolón had the audience laughing out of their seats as he shared a story about how he used to be very white.
Juan Nicolón: Juan is a stand-up comedian, writer and occasional nude model. His comedy has been described as “Larry David meets Sofia Vergara”, a thing he takes as a big compliment. He is a long time writer and performer at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater and a former on screen talent for FLAMA, Univision’s bilingual digital platform where his viral videos were viewed over 20 million times. He has written for McSweeney’s and his work was featured in Huffington Post, BuzzFeed, Latina Magazine, Time Out NY and The New York Times. He is originally from Uruguay (the other Paraguay).
Laugh After Dark: Laugh After Dark got its start in 2018 when the first 6-episode season of their original series trended organically on the Prime Video homepage. Since then, LAD has grown to become an internationally recognized comedy industry powerhouse with a commitment to excellence, a drive to discover and genuinely nurture talent, and a passion for fostering community and opportunities. Today, the brand is currently home to 3 award-winning seasons of stand-up TV show, a viral social media presence with almost 100 million views, standup specials, chart-topping comedy albums, a global podcast that charts in over 45 countries, and experience-driven live events, including the annual Laugh After Dark ComedyFest in Las Vegas.
