In the entertainment world, most people tend to specialize in one thing or another. But there are a few performers out there who can do everything. George Lopez is certainly one of those multi-faceted performers who can do far more than most people realize. Most folks will recognize Lopez from his TV show or perhaps his movies and voiceover roles. But Lopez has done so much more than that in his career. He’s also a published author, late-night host, and an incredible stand-up comedian. Anybody who has seen Lopez on TV or in movies and liked what they saw should give his stand-up comedy a chance. It’s not necessarily the same as you get on screen, but fans rarely walk away disappointed.

Don’t Hold Back

It can be said of all great comedians that they hold nothing back when they get on stage, and Lopez surely fits that description. While his TV persona tends to explore important issues, he takes things even further when he’s on stage. Lopez has no problem talking about his Mexican-American heritage during his comedy routine and is happy to tackle topics like race relations in a way that’s both meaningful and entertaining. Few comedians are able to strike the perfect balance between entertaining audiences and making them think about important issues. But Lopez has found that balance in all of his past comedy specials, which is why his fans are always excited to see him hit the road with new material.

On the Resume

It’s worth remembering that Lopez isn’t just any other comedian who’s trying new material in a comedy club. The guy has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, while three of his comedy albums have been nominated for a Grammy. He’s also gone on tour with the likes of Eddie Griffin, Cedric, the Entertainer, D.L. Hughley, and other big names in the comedy world. He’s always more than held his own when sharing the stage with some of the best comedians in the game. That’s why Lopez is one of the best comedians of his generation and a performer who’s always worth the price of admission.
