Joey Medina
-
Joey Medina, a Puerto Rican who was born and raised in the Bronx, New York, is one of the freshest and funniest comedians around today.
Joey spent most of his teen years perfecting his boxing skills that would one day earn him a State Championship as a Professional and a shot at the world title before becoming a heavy-hitter in the comedy arena. Joey is a veteran of over 50 television appearances including his own SHOWTIME Comedy Special titled "Joey Medina: Taking Off The Gloves."
Joey hosted his own hilarious Morning Radio Show in Los Angeles on KXOL 96.3 FM. Recently, he toured alongside Russell Peters in New Zealand and Australia where he performed in front of over 36,000 fans. He headlines comedy clubs, casinos and theaters throughout the United States and has also toured Asia, Europe and the Middle East. He also has proudly performed for the US Armed Forces during wartime in Bosnia, Kosovo, Kuwait and Iraq several times, as well as the USS Roosevelt aircraft carrier.
Joey also starred in Paramount Pictures' "The Original Latin Kings of Comedy" with Cheech Marin, Paul Rodriguez, George Lopez and Alex Reymundo, which grossed $8.5 million in DVD sales in the first six months of its release through Paramount Pictures. The "Original Latin Kings of Comedy" is still the highest grossing Latino Stand-up Comedy DVD of all time.
