BIOGRAPHY 

Though raised by a pack of wolves, it is the combination of Caribbean roots, urban upbringing, and Ivy League education that defines the unique comedic style of Pedro Hernandez. As a young boy growing up in the predominantly black Detroit public school system, Hernandez often had to defend himself, as he was the only black child around with a full Spanish name. As a result, a keen wit and sharp tongue were developed, and later backed by the insight and analytical skills provided by a Princeton education. While at Princeton, Hernandez first discovered his talent as a comedian by co-creating, producing, and directing what ended up being one of Princeton’s most popular comedy troupes. After graduation it was time for the big test, Los Angeles, where he has been ever since.

Hernandez is now a regular at the Improv and the Laugh Factory, two of Los Angeles' premier comedy clubs, and is making a name for himself at clubs and on college campuses across America. Hernandez's big television debut came as a cast member on season one of the hit BET show Hell Date, where he played some of the more popular characters like the Ventriloquist and the Napoleon Complex. His unique background and upbringing give him the range to speak on everything from riding the city bus to the current state of global politics with equal insight. Hernandez is changing the face of black comedy as we speak, leading the way for a new breed of urban entertainers.
