"Here We Go Again."
But fans of longtime comedian Pablo Francisco won’t be complaining when the funnyman returns to the El Paso Comic Strip Comedy Club Thursday through Saturday.
The show features new material Francisco has been working on ahead of a new one-hour special, to be titled, "Here We Go Again."
Francisco became known for his off-the-wall characters and impersonations on his two one-hour Comedy Central specials, "They Put It Out There" and "Ouch!" — as well as his stint on Fox’s sketch-comedy show "Mad TV." Later this year, Francisco will be featured on the new MTV show, "Acting Out."
Francisco took a brief break from standup, but returned to the stage, and El Paso, in 2016.
"I missed (performing)," Francisco said during an interview ahead of his show at the Comic Strip last year. "YouTube and the Internet have been so good to me, but I decided to go out there and try some new stuff. I always miss it. I just like to jump up there and have fun with it."
Ahead of his return performances this week, Francisco shared his Top 5 reasons for returning to perform in the Sun City with the El Paso Times entertainment blog, The Beat:
The women
Francisco: There’s a lot of hot Mexican women. Lord knows that’s a good thing.
Home improvement
Francisco: Since I am Latino and white mixed up in one, I can hang out at Home Depot and Lowe’s.
Sentiment
Francisco: I love the fact that the Comic Strip was my very first out-of-town comedy club that I performed at when I got started.
Culture
Francisco: TEXAS and MEXICANS IS A GOOD MIX.
Late-night eats
Francisco: When I am partying, only in El Paso, Taco Cabana is open late to help me prepare for my hangover.
