Featuring: Josh Castro

What makes Josh Castro unique is his view of the world through a comedic lens of a 3rd generation Mexican-American, bringing a new generation of Mexican culture awareness to light. Born and raised in El Paso TX, a border town, growing up was weird: β€œI’m too white to be Mexican, I’m too Mexican to be white.” As a kid, Josh was picked on by local β€œCholo” bullies but quickly learned how to avoid fighting and conflicts with humor. Josh realized he had a gift for comedy. Josh has been a semi-finalist in both the Funniest Person in Austin and Funniest in South Texas. Josh has also opened for comedians such as Paul Rodriguez (Latin Kings of Comedy), Nick Guerra (HBO Latino), and Chingo Bling (Netflix).
