Multilingual stand-up comedian Santi Espinosa delivers an honest, hilarious, and deeply personal look at life between cultures in his new comedy special, Espanglish, now streaming on YouTube.
In the special, Santi shares the comedic realities of growing up Colombian, adapting to life in the United States, navigating language barriers, and embracing the unpredictable adventure of fatherhood. Through sharp storytelling and relatable observations, Espanglish blends cultural identity, family, and everyday chaos into a performance that feels both intimate and universally funny.
Based in New York City, Santi has spent more than a decade building a reputation as one of comedy’s most authentic and versatile voices. Known for his anecdotal and deeply personal style, he has performed everywhere from small bars and underground comedy rooms across North America to sold-out clubs in London and Bogotá.
Santi is also one of the few comedians to perform at the New York Comedy Festival in both English and Spanish, showcasing his ability to connect with audiences across cultures and languages. Beyond stand-up, he hosts the popular It Matters Comedy showcase at New York Comedy Club, where he continues to spotlight rising comedic talent.
His debut comedy album, Identity Crisis, earned recognition on platforms including Spotify and Sirius XM, while his growing list of credits includes TBS, Sirius/XM, and a national commercial appearance alongside Will Arnett.
With Espanglish, Santi Espinosa delivers more than just punchlines — he offers a comedic reflection on identity, belonging, parenting, and the balancing act of living between worlds. As he prepares to take the show on tour this year, the special serves as both an introduction to new audiences and a celebration for longtime fans who have followed his rise through the comedy scene.
Espanglish is now streaming on YouTube.
