Comedy of the Universe presents the 10 funniest skits of their eight years in showbiz. The funniest of the funniest, this extravaganza is sure to tickle your funny bone and leave you rolling in the aisles with laughter. José Luis, our well known and dearly loved thespian/comedian, and his troupe of young actors have selected the best of over more than 70 skits to delight their faithful following and entice newcomers into the fold.

José Luis and his talented troupe first performed here in San Miguel at the Teatro Ángela Peralta in 1999, capturing the heart and laughter of their new fans. Overwhelmingly successful, they immediately became official members in the growing number and high calibre entertainers in our community.

In vaudevillian form the Comedy of the Universe brings to life characters that we all can identify with from the lost and desperate to the sensitive romantic, in charming and comic episodes so true to life. The group began in 1999 from the brainstorm of José Luis Mendoza, then a theater technician, director, movie-lover and actor in our local theater community. He invited young people and actors to join him in making people laugh. Over the years they have performed an average of two major productions to a growing fan club of “Laughteurs.” Their most recent show, in January; Transylvania mon Amour was a tribute to all the monsters and creepy creatures that have populated our dreams and nightmare. Tickets for Comedy of the Universe are on sale now at the theater box office. Seats are limited. Don’t miss it!
