High Plains Morning wants to thank Mr. Felipe Esparza, stand-up comedian and actor, for stopping by the station with his buddy and podcast co-host, comedian Rodrigo Torres. We had a blast chatting with you both, and here's hoping you had a great show in Amarillo!

ABOUT FELIPE: Known for his 2012 stand-up special “They’re Not Gonna Laugh at You”, Felipe's recurring appearances on “Superstore” and “The Eric Andre Show”, “Last Comic Standing” (winner – 2010), his podcast “What’s Up Fool?” on the All Things Comedy Network and his newest stand-up special, “Translate This”, which premiered on HBO in 2017 and continues to run on all the HBO platforms.

If you missed our chat, here's the link to the full, on-air interview. ENJOY, FOOLS!
