A Mexican comedian born and raised in New Jersey, Ricardo Aleman believes that the Spanish he learned on Sesame Street growing up is all the Spanish he'll ever need to know. That never stopped him from taking full advantage of the minority scholarship program at his local college. After graduating with honors and a Masters Degree in Computer Science, the next logical step for a non-Spanish speaking Mexican computer wiz-comedy.
Today Ricardo can be seen regularly in New York City at clubs including The World Famous Comic Strip Live! He has appeared recently on NBC's America's Got Talent, as well as SiTV's Latino Laugh Festival and on LTV's Llegamos. Ricardo was also a regular guest on the Sirius Radio show "Quotas." In past years,... he was featured internationally at the 2003 Edinburgh Fringe Festival (Scotland) and was named Best New York Main Stream Comic by the Las Vegas Comedy Festival in 2002.

I pulled this little gem out of the trunk of my car. I was 15 years old in 1993 and was having an awesome year. I was so convinced I had all the answers to life that I wrote this book about it. Well, it's mostly about picking up girls. with comentary by comedians: Ray Ellin, Brian Scolaro, & Vanessa Hollingshead Check it out with a FREE preview chapter at LuLu.com
I love watching Ultimate Fighting and Pride fighting. I like playing poker, and hanging out with my Dog, Nina.
I LOVE ATARI. I have an original 2600 hooked up to my 43 inch TV. And if you have never played pong on a 43 inch TV... then let me tell you... it takes forever for the ball to reach the other side. :-) Here's some retro games to encourage you to spend more time on my page.

I'm a Stand-Up Comedian from New Jersey, and I am 100% Mexican. I know.... I don't believe it either, but it's true, I'm Mexican, and I live in New Jersey.
I know what you're saying... "Ok, a white Mexican from New Jersey... but is he funny?!".. well check out the video at the top of the page and see for yourself... and/or check the gig list below the video and come to a show.
I sense that you still have a burning question inside, so let me answer it for you. No, I don't speak spanish.. but I want to learn. Meanwhile, for all my latino fans that want to read this page in spanish, click here and I'll have google translate it for you.
For those of you who still don't believe I'm Mexican, read my F.A.Q.
Who I'd like to meet: I would like to meet a Unicorn. I saw one once when I was little at the circus, but in hindsight, I'm pretty sure that was a goat with an ice cream cone on his head.
