Alvin is based in New York City where he is a regular at the Comedy Cellar and other clubs in the city. He’s been featured on Amazon Prime and the Fubo network.

He blends his physicality, Hispanic background, and embarrassing anecdotes together to create a brand of comedy characterized by his peers as, “sexy Latina woman.” If he’s not eating Nutella or loitering at the dog park, he can be seen humiliating himself in front of strangers all around New York City for the sake of laughter.

Dumpster Fire (21+)
2024-01-20 21:00
Dumpster fire is aptly named, a complete chaotic comedic mess. The finest parts of improv but in a standup setting. Comedians drop a ball into a large plinko machine that decides how long they must endure whatever Dumpster Dare comes their way – whether that be eating a habanero after every joke, dressing like a pop idol and singing their jokes, or putting a basketball hoop on their head while audiences members chuck balls into it, they must do the Dumpster Dare during their set. No one can guess what will happen next and that’s the fun of it all! So come down and see a comedy show like never before!

“Why, there’s wench!”
The most audacious lovers in Shakespeare’s canon beat the doors down once again as Shit-faced Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew returns to The Rockwell Theater.
Wealthy sisters Katherina and Bianca are pitched against suspicious suitors, the entire Renaissance patriarchy, and each other. If only there was a drunk actor to make all this ridiculous! Featuring food fights, one too many bum cheeks, a highly underwhelming horse, and more twisted gender politics than you can shake a fawning, fat-skinned fustilarian at!
