“Ethnic humor has always been a tricky thing in this nation of immigrants. A hundred years ago the most popular type of American comedy was played out by vaudevillians exaggerating racial stereotypes for laughs. By modern sensibilities you could say that many of these performers weren’t exactly respectful of the people they would portray, but there is also a strong tradition of comics making fun of their own backgrounds for the amusement of his or her own people. That’s the spirit of Rick Najera’s Latinologues, a play that combines stand-up comedy, solo character-driven theatre and sketch comedy.”
