In his first English-language special, Chilean comedian Fabrizio Copano delivers sharp, fast-paced stand-up about identity, fatherhood, and cultural whiplash.
Taped just before becoming a U.S. citizen, From The Future captures the moment when one joke about the president made him so paranoid, he actually applied for citizenship.
It’s a hilarious ride through the immigrant experience, millennial parenting, and the absurdity of living between two cultures—all told with heart, anxiety, and a slightly panicked smile.
